ShimasChild: The major one that's getting to me is "How fast can you go in that thing?" with the power chair. I say "Five". It has five speeds, and five is the fastest. NO clue as to how fast it is in MPH.
Tell them, "Warp factor 6." (Or Mach 5.) *LOL*
We've had too many stupid things to count asked about my son. Most were well-meaning, but just plain DUMB.
The ONLY time I've been asked about sex (he's 12, btw) is a VERY close friend of ours once mentioned it to me. Her adult daughter had been diagnosed with ACM and another has just been diagnosed with arthritis. And in the context of how the question came about, it wasn't offensive, because we were discussing other things related. AND, she's very close, like a sister (mother, actually, because she's older than my mother *LOL*).
I say for those who get asked about sex, shoot back a really smart-assed remark. It'll embarass the one who asks you and maybe get them to think twice next time.
Can you have sex? Possible answers:
Not with you.
Why, are you offering?
You know, you are the FIRST person to ask me that all day, here's your sign.
Ah, my FIRST stupid question of the day, I was beginning to wonder if it would get asked.
...and so on. *LOL*
Of course, everyone's different. Some people aren't worth wasting the time and breath on answering.
The stupidest thing I heard was when the doc sent me for a MRI of the brain. Once at the MRI I filled out the proper forms and In It told them that the Doc Belived we were dealing with PD. As I laid In the MRI machine and they started to push me In I heard the one lady say your going to have to hold still (Don't move your head) or we will have to start all over, HELLO ......Sorry I can't hold my head still because of the tremours!!!!!
Longest hour and a half I had to lay there!!!!!
