Times of Questioning

It is not true that there is no such thing as a stupid question. Every day people ask stupid questions because we either don’t get something or we weren’t listening and end up asking a question that was just answered. If you have a question just say it who cares what other people think even if you’re confused. In the end, if you do have a question then most likely someone will have an answer. 

At the Christmas carol play, we recently went to there was a little kid who asks who the spirits were but if the kid was paying attention to the play they would have known that just made me laugh because then another kid asked the same question a few minutes later. I don’t think most of the kids there were paying attention.  I know that some of my friends that have done that in my classes. When I was younger I was home alone and I was hungry so I grabbed an apple to eat but I didn’t want the skin. So I grabbed a peeler and I didn’t know how to use one to when I was peeling the apple I kept cutting myself over and over again until it was completely peeled. Then I had bloody hands because of the cuts so I threw out the apple and cleaned my hands 

This one time I was on facetime with my girlfriend and I started to think in my head like where is my phone, where is my phone. So me freaking out without my girlfriend noticing. I started to look around my room panicking looking underneath my blankets and pillows. Then she says what are you doing I say I’m looking for my phone. I look right at my phone and it hits me, my phone was right in front of me this whole time that I was using it. Another time I was with my girlfriend and we were doing homework at her house. She had a worksheet for a class and she asked me for today’s date. Then right as I’m about to say it she then interrupts me and says oh wait it’s 26th I said no, it’s September. Then I realized what I said and we start to laugh. Me and my girlfriend were making jokes about easy things like a carrot is orange and then she says like two plus two equals three. As I am writing this, I am on facetime with my girlfriend and she is babysitting but the kids are in bed. She finds roman noodles and so she grabs the roman noodles, a pot, and then fills the pot with water. She then puts the pot on the stove. Then she asks how to use it because it’s a stove that has coils that heat up. I then say twist the knob until it’s on low she says okay. So I think its on and she goes to the cover with the “hot” water and she tries to touch the cover I say “Don’t do that it’s hot”. Five minutes go by and she says why isn’t it boiling she then realizes that it’s not even on and then says you should write that we both start to laugh. There was this one time where I made a joke that was sarcastic and I wasn’t paying attention and as I was turning around I tripped and fell and they started to laugh at me that’s what I call karma. 

I was at work one time and I had just started working at Mcdonalds and it was like my first week and I put a biscuit in the microwave to thaw it and instead of twenty seconds I put it in for a minute. The minute goes by and my co-worker goes to the microwave and opens it the biscuit was on fire and it was black. I said I didn’t know and now I ask questions even if they are stupid. I was working at Val’s Drive-in and I don’t usually get seen by the people outside because I’m always inside cooking food but, my boss needed me to change the trash in front of everyone out front. So I grab like two trash bags outback. I then head to the front and there are cars lined up I’m not even looking up I’m just minding my own business. I don’t know if anyone was staring at me while I was changing the trash. Also, I was in work clothes so I didn’t look so good. I get home and someone massages me, “hey was that you at Vals Drive-in?” I said yes and they were like I thought that was you because I recognized you from snapchat and then I met a new friend after that. Last night me and my girlfriend went to burger king because we didn’t have dinner yet. So we are having a conversation about food and then my girlfriend was like “yeah we put some pizza rolls in the frozen fridge” because we were not going to eat them all. I was like a frozen fridge? We both start to laugh and I’m like there’s a fridge and a freezer and shes like I know, I brought it up today and we started to laugh.

All my examples are common because it shows how we can make a lot of mistakes in such a short period of time. This helps me because now I know that I make a lot of funny mistakes. Also, others could understand that everyone always asks questions whether they are funny or just plain obvious no one is perfect that is why people ask questions. This helps other people understand that you need to think before you speak because you will just end up embarrassing yourself. In the end, if you think about everyone is most likely going to forget about it but once in a while bring it up and laugh so it’s okay to make mistakes.
