Question:
What is the dumbest question you've ever asked?

I'll share my two.

This was dinnertime today: So my mom bought a pot roast, (note that we have pot roast about once a month) and while she was cooking it, i walked into the room. It looked different that it normally does, so i asked my mom "Did you buy a different brand of pot roast?" She burst out laughing then said she bought it at acme. it was embarrassing cuz i thought they came in brands...

history class last week: we were learning about some sort of event (i forgot which one) that happened in the 1800s and being philisophical, i asked "how do we actually KNOW this happened? I mean, just cause it was written down doesn't mean its true. The people who wrote it down could just be liars, or drunk or something. Right?" The class burst into laughter. I still think it's possible.

Your turn!

Okay, this is the most recent, it happened last night.

So some friends and i were at a dance last night and it was sooo hot in there even the walls were wet from everyone sweating so much, so we were on our way home and my friend Rachel was like "im totally taking a shower when i get home" and my friend chloe was like "me too" and my friend andrea who was in the car has a steam shower at her house and its kind of like a suana thing if you dont know what that is, and Andrea was like "im going to bed its frickin 2 am" and i thought about it for a while and then i asked "Hey Andrea, can you take a steam shower but have it blow cold steam?" and then they all laughed at me and Andrea was like "sorry, Renee, thats not how steam works.

haha

I make stupid statements, not stupid questions :p



Your second question (about history) isn't all that stupid, though. How do we really know if everything in those text books is true? It's not like anyone from the 1800's and earlier are alive and able to confirm all that info.

I'm always really geographically confused. Like with Paris, France, and England, I still have no idea which is which, and I've asked if France is in England and all others, I don't know, I'm an idiot kinda.

Ha! The funniest question I asked was in Science class:

I go to an all girls private school and one of teachers (a man) made a quick announcement about robotics. At the very end of the announcement (our school has an email thing) he said : If you want to email me, I am the only Andrew in the school. Then I blurted: But we go to a co-ed school, aren't their other Andrew's? Everyone started to laugh at me.



Another time was when I was younger, my mom was talking to my sister Michele. All of a sudden I stared straight at my mom and asked: "Mom, have you seen Michele?" After I had said hi to her! It was really sad

There are no dumb questions.



I once made an apple pie, and I ate it all by myself. I said "Wow, this tastes like apple pie." Lol, I thought because I had baked it it would taste different then the kind you get at restaurants, but mine was better xD
