Questions and Answers...
There's an old saying... One should be conscious of the possible answers before you ask the question. You never know what the answer might be.
or if you prefer... Don't ask a question you don't know the answer to.
Having said that...
(the names were changed to protect the identify of those involved)
Enter the room... "M" asks what do you think if I told you "J" was going to stab me with a knife? ( no doubt thinking that we should be appalled by this )
My response: "how bad did he stab you?
Clearly, this was not the response that was expected.
Seeking a more adult response "M" asks "C" the same question.
"C" asks... "so what did you do to get stabbed?"
Once again... clearly not what "M" wanted to hear.
So I said... "well, we could ask a third person if you can handle the answer".
S i l e n c e ... "M" exits the room. S i l e n c e continues.
Except for me & "C" laughing... Go figure!
