Stupid Questions anyone?

Have you ever come across someone asking you or you asking someone stupid questions to which there is only one obvious answer? Like the time when your best friend calls you at 3 in the morning to speak to you and her first question is “Were you sleeping?” Hello! What else would one be doing on a week night at 3 a.m.???? :-)

I did something like this a few days back. After working late, as I approached the station, I ran into my “morning train” friend and innocently asked her “Are you going home?” to which she answered the obvious answer “Yes!” After getting onto the train we realised what a stupid question I had asked her and we spent a good 10 minutes of our travel time giggling away like two school children much to the amusement of the ladies in the compartment.

This made me think of the other stupid questions that we ask in our everyday life which on retrospect brings a huge Smile on our faces! :-)
“Are you hurt?” after seeing a bloody knee on a little boy’s leg..
“Did I wake you up?” when you call your friend at 4 a.m. in the morning..
“Are you awake” when a mother shakes a child awake..
“Are you feeling hot?” after seeing your friend’s face streaked with ringlets of sweat..

And these are the sweet, stupid nothings that give our life the much needed injections of smiles! So, go ahead make someone's day - ask a stupid question!
