The Question Is...........

I am not a person who asks a lot of questions.  I won't say I'm not inquisitive, because I definitely am....It's just that the things I want to inquire about are usually something that I can find out by myself without having to ask anyone anything.
If I ask simple questions like, "How are you?" or "What are you doing?" I'm just caring for you and showing genuine concern about your day or your well being.......If you choose to elaborate and give me more information from my question, then I'll gladly listen.....
Now, when I ask you the POINTED or hard questions....a lot of times I have already determined the answer in my mind OR I already know the truth and I just want to see what you will say. I used to do that to my kid's ALL THE TIME....To the point where my daughter would tell my son, "Man, she already knows.  She just waiting on you to lie." (She would warn him but he would lie anyway and get in trouble, lol.)....But the thing about my "pointed" questions is that they are, short, leading questions that you can't just give a "yes" or "no" answer to....The other thing is, WHATEVER answer you give I will accept.  Usually with an, "ok"...but sometimes when I KNOW I'm being lied to I'll  say, "Is that the answer you want to give me?"  If they say it is, then I say "ok".....
Seriously, what else can I do?  If I tell the person they're lying or even that I think they are, then there has to be more conversation and subsequently more lies....So why bother?  Especially if the matter is not that crucial.
My main thing I want or have to have in my life is to "know where I stand"....I never want to ingratiate myself where I'm not wanted/needed/don't belong.  So sometimes when I do ask questions I'm trying to determine where I "fit".
I don't ask a lot of questions also, because I don't want anyone asking me a lot of questions.  I have one girlfriend who I THINK is rude with the way she asks questions.  She asks for no other reason than to be nosy.  Things like, "How much did you pay for that?" or "How much did that cost?"  Those questions irritate me, because if I wanted you to know I would tell you off top and even if I don't care if you know or not, that's just not something you ask someone. #manners101.....Then my other friend asks a barrage of questions when she's getting mad about a situation.  She doesn't mean any harm, that's just her way of coping with things.  You can be trying to explain something and she'll ask 10 questions before you can finish. LOL
So, if I ask you a simple question.....that means I care about you and want to know....If you get a "pointed" question from me, JUST TELL THE TRUTH. #imjustsaying
