Whats the oddest question you've been asked?

[julesapple]

The Boy's take on sex education was quite interesting. I knew they were going to have this talk at school, so asked him how it went when he came home.

'Oh. Well, you and Daddy have had this sex stuff five times. Nanny & Grandad have had it three times. Aunty G has only done it twice....'

The BH was nearly choking on his knuckles trying not to laugh as was our oldest son, who is 11 years older than The Boy. Seeing where it was going, I had to ask about my brother and his wife;

'Oh - Uncle K and Aunty S must still be weird yins because they don't want any babies....'

He's nearly 17 now.....not sure if he's actually any wiser

I'm being asked a lot of odd questions at the moment - such as:-

"Why are you keeping this when its broken?"
"What are you going to use this for?"
"Do you really need to keep this?" and so on.............

I think these questions are odd, anyway. To me its very obvious why I keep bits of old tools and gadgets - because one day they'll come in handy for something (as has been proven .........so )

If a man says you're ugly, he's a mean bastard.

If a woman says you're ugly, she's a jealous bitch.

If a child says you're ugly, you're ugly.

not so much odd more awkward - my just 4 year old daughter what the different parts of her moo were called and why she has a moo but boys have willys!

Many years ago I was a railway booking clerk and used to get asked two questions by many people:

Q1) When is the next train due?

Q2( Is there not one before that?

In later years I was to discover that every railway clerk in the country was asked the same two questions on a regular basis

That'seasy,

" does my bum look good in this?"

you know you are buggered however you answer and so does the asker of the question

I have been known on many occasions to reply with "Don't ask the question, if you don't want the answer"

One day I asked her if she would like to go away to west wales with me for a 'romantic weekend'.

Then a few days later, she asked me if we needed to cross the severn bridge to get there!!!!!!!!

Are you sure she's from Southampton, she sounds like a valleys girl to me.

Anyway just before the C*******s last year my daughter asked if fairytales are real, I asked what do you mean tink.

She said 'Well like Santa and God and the Tooth Fairy?'
I said 'What do you think?'
'Well I know the tooth fairy is real because I've seen her fairy dust through my window' she replied.
I said 'Its a tough one, isn't it. Is something real if we haven't seen it? For example if a tree falls in the wood and no one sees it does it make a sound?'
She pondered this for a moment then said 'Whats that got to do with the price of apples?'

Brilliant!
Down in Sussex it was the price of fish.

Not to me, but my wife told me that our 4 year old saw one of the mothers (who is black) on the way out of school, and asked (obviously, at the top of her voice pointing to this lady):

"Do brown people do peachy coloured poos?"

Of the mind set that she has "peachy" skin and does brown poos (or is it poohs? I like poo better. poo poo poo ).

Anyway, funny to see how young minds work hey? I thought it was amusing, as I find toilet humor hilarious, I don't think my wife did.

I think that one will get deleted AIC - this is a Family Forum!

I have an equally funny one to post, regarding a personal question my young nephew asked my Sister. Ordinarily, it would come under the 'personal' questions that a boy might ask his Mother. The only problem was, he chose to ask it at the Christmas Dinner Table, whilst surrounded by relatives of all ages. Fortunately, my Sister is not easily shocked, and just answered in a matter-of-fact way, just in case the little blighter had been trying to embarrass her. Which is quite likely, as he has inherited her wicked sense of humour.

[AllInContainers]

Yup. I did aim to minimise any potential offense, and do apologise to anyone who found it too much. I fully understand if a mod decided it's over the line and it has to go. Different forums have different thresholds for family friendly and it would be fine on others I frequent, but I'm still finding my way here ...

[Nicos]

Yup- sorry- G4's correct!

(We do have grapes as young as 7yrs old visiting here)

Ahhh ... went to go back to edit it myself and noticed someone beat me to it ... then noticed your badge, Nicos Thanks for sorting it and clarifying things. Duly noted

Oddest question I've been asked lately is
"What does the Fox Say..."

[Glutton4...]

The daftest thing I occasionally get asked, is what I'd like for Dinner! Anything I haven't had to cook for myself, D'oh!

I didn't marry an ex-Chef for nothing...
