Have you ever been asked a question that you just could not answer?

Answer 1

**SPOILER** Adult situation described in my answer.

I sure have. Want to hear what it was? I am betting you couldn't have answered it, either.

I used to work in a library. One day a woman came up to the circulation desk and announced in a very loud voice that she planned to sit at the little tiny tables in the children's reading room and pleasure herself. She wanted to know if a Babar the Elephant or a Cat in the Hat storybook would be more exciting and stimulating and likely to lead to climax. My co-workers told me later that I just stood there looking at her with my mouth hanging open. They thought it was hilarious because I always have an answer for everything, but she really stumped me on that one.

It turned out that she was seriously mentally ill, and was on an outing with a counselor from the group home where she lived. He had had to use the restroom, and we had a small public restroom in the children's room, the kind that isn't designated for either sex. (The kind where there's just a toilet and a sink, and anyone can use it.) He had parked her outside the door with instructions to wait for him, but she had wandered away to look at picturebooks. He was walking toward her and he caught the entire question. He immediately looked at his watch and suggested they go get ice cream, all the while dragging her out the door by her arm.

The manager of the group home sent a nice flower arrangement and a lengthy apology to all of us at the library the next day.

Answer 2

Yes I have, but the unique thing about a teacher, as well as a christian, is that we know that there's no problem, that doesn't have an answer.

Acknowledging that you need help, and knowing the resources that you can obtain an answer will help you to understand that no one person has all the answers.

I don't know is the best response when someone ask you a question that you just can't answer, but I'll see if I can find the answer.

Answer 3

If it relatively is the appropriate question interior the religion area, I anticipate you to alter lives. are you able to do it? it would be stressful pondering you basically had 732 characters left yet, in spite of in case you had 5482628 characters left, it would be stressful. multiple human beings right here disagree basically for the sake of disagreeing. you will get as plenty undesirable comments as you will good comments. If that isn't the appropriate question ever, i'm dropping my time. yet i'm replying so of course I even have faith in you. If i got here upon this lame i'd permit you be responsive to. I in all possibility does no longer even respond. I see that it rather is the appropriate, do no longer worry. And as properly, even the emperor concept he had the appropriate outfits ever, do you no longer think of you have the appropriate question ever? If there's a small little bit of doubt on your innovations, you're no longer the emperor, so his outfits do no longer practice. i'm extraordinarily bored.
