She then threw me a softball question that I could see from a mile away and I still swung and missed big time. She innocently asked if you could ask me one question.
RDS,
I'm sorry she threw the softball. I know how that can happen.
A few weeks ago, my wife was at an event that I was at as well (we didn't go together). She said, "Can I ask you a question?" I said, "No!" Then she said, "You mean I can't ask you a simple question? You don't even know what I'm going to ask you." I was walking away at that point and I turned to the side to look at her and said, "Every time that you ask me if you can ask a question it turns out badly. If you can't ask me a question without first asking me if you can ask a question, then don't ask me a question! (I hope you can follow that.) I continued walking away.
That's going to be my policy from now on; if she asks me if she can ask a question, then I'm going to tell her "no." I hate getting drawn into an argument.
