When I was a very young girl I asked an elderly gentleman if the world was really black and white when he had been young. Because at the time, older movies and TV shows were in black and white, and only the newer TV shows were in color.. so in my mind I assumed the world had been black and white years before I was born. Have you ever asked a really silly question?

I did silly things. At about the age of 10 years old, I practiced how to curtsy - just in case I ever met the QueenI never did meet her!

There have been a lot of silly questions that I asked when I was a young girl. The one that remains the most vivid in my mind has to do with cows. You know most of the time we had gallons of white milk in the house and we also had bottles of chocolate syrup. Well then when I was a little bit older, I discovered that they sold chocolate milk already bottled. So, my question was, and yes you've guessed it, "Does chocolate milk come from brown cows?"

I think a lot of children believe the same thing.

Probably! LOL...I try to keep my mouth shut if I am unsure! I know sometimes I do ask a question and after I say what I want to ask it seem unappropriate...but specifically I can't come up with one from the past.

I was little so I don't blame myself too much. These days when I ask a silly question I do regret it afterwards.

I don't recall any specifically though I will say I'm sure I've sad many things that were not very bright of me to say. I will say that's a cute take on things from when you were a kid. That's the neat thing about being a kid you can look at so many things in a different way and yet makes sense why you viewed it that way.

not only silly but very embarrassing. my cousins dad came to visit them when i was about 7yrs. my cousin was also 7 yrs. her mom was my aunt. anyway, we were all in the car. he ended up sitting between us in the back seat. my cousin had told me her dad had a wooden leg,but it didnt look like it. so i wanted to know for sure and reached over feeling his thigh. he nearly jumped out of his skin and said what are you doing? i said i wanted to feel your wooden leg. boy did my mom give me a big talking to. who knew a little girl shouldnt be doing that? i never did anything like that again.

Ohh yes I perfectly remember how did i asked a silly question. The situation is I am working in a call center before and since we are working at night shift I am really sleep at that time. Once customer calls in and she complained about her television, since I am really sleep I was not listening at all, but instead I uttered the question: " What is the color of your panty?" the customer was really shocked and I am too was surprise of what I just asked her. Since then I woke up already and feeling sleepy anymore,.
