Stupid Question Or Just Being Stupid?

I have asked more stupid questions than I count. I always ask the stupid question and then realize what I had just said was very dumb. I should always think about the question before I just blurt it out, but I still always ask it even though I know it is very stupid. Whenever I ask the stupid questions my parents always stare at me and just laugh at me. They also make fun of me for about a good 5 minutes and just laugh for awhile. I always end up getting mad at them, even though I was the one who asked the stupid question. It is very annoying when they are making fun of me because they really do not know when to stop. I always feel really stupid after I ask the questions I do. When we were traveling back home from driving across the country I had asked my parents a really stupid question that I am never going to live down. Sometimes they just bring it up for fun because it is apparently still that funny even though it happened back in 2013. They are still always making fun of me for it whenever we go through that state or near that state.

So as we are driving on the interstate we are coming near a toll both and you know you have to start to slow down because you can’t go through those things going 70. So my step dad starts to slow down and started flipping through the radio stations. He stopped on a couple of them but they were just crappy and annoying music so he started flipping through them some more. Now I will remind you that I was very tired and had been in a car with eight people for about 9 hours that day before I had asked this stupid question. So as we are about to go through the toll both he stops on a Spanish channel just to be funny. I had immediately sat up looked around and without even thinking or hesitating to ask this question I just blurted out “Do the people in Connecticut speak Spanish?” Everyone in the car obviously starts laughing at me because why would someone ask that. They kept on laughing for like a good five minutes because it was clearly just that funny. I obviously did not think that it was as funny as they did because I was the one who asked that stupid question. We live in America not Mexico so obviously the people in Connecticut do not speak Spanish. But that clearly did not sink into my head before I had asked my parents that ridiculous question. So every single time that we ever go anywhere near Connecticut, they always start laughing and say, “We are in the Spanish speaking state”. I always get mad at them and roll my eyes because it really is not all that funny anymore.

If I had never asked this stupid question in the first place than I would not be having all of these problems now. If I had just kept my mouth shut instead of saying something when it landed onto that channel than I would not be having this problem anymore. I should have just kept my mouth shut instead of just blurting out that question because now I am never going to live it down. If I did not ask the question I’m sure that one of my siblings would have jokingly started singing along to it to be funny and everyone would have just moved on from it. The station would not have been very funny anymore and would hopefully get changed because it was honestly kind of annoying. Sometimes when my mom is just having moments were she likes to make fun of me she brings this back up. But if I had never said it in the first place, I would not have to still be dealing with this.

Asking this stupid questions is one of the many stupid questions that I have asked. I ask a lot of stupid questions. I probably ask at least one stupid question a month maybe sometimes more. That is just who I am, sometimes I am not very smart. Asking this question was not one of the smartest things that I have ever done. I still wish today that I did not ask my parents this question. I am forever going to hope that they forget about it.
