Sometimes I want to ask people questions but I don't assuming it would be rude, especially in front of a child, but they would not be stupid questions though as I want to go through the process SOON.
So one day it will be me trying to learn to glower at people so they don't bother me over something really stupid and not a polite good question.

I think polite questions are fun, actually. It's the assumptions behind some of 'em that are iffy.

I think coming up with answers to the odd/rude questions would be a lot of fun.

When people ask me if Malcolm (a biological) is my son, I generally answer with 'Well, that is what his mother says but we haven't done any blood typing or DNA matching. {if it is a male asking, I add} Why? Are you looking to throw your hat in the ring?'.

When strangers at the playground tell me he looks just like me, I generally respond with 'thank you for saying so but it really upsets his father when he hears that sort of thing so let's just keep it between you and me, okay?'.

(If someone asked me 'How much did she cost?', I might try answering with:

If you're in the market, I know a guy who can get you a great deal. When we picked her out, we didn't know much about the process and really got boned. By the time we realized what she was going to cost after tax and tag -- so to speak -- we had already fallen in love with her and the salesman knew he had us by the short and curlies. It wasn't even the raw cost that killed us but the financing. We should have read the small print. The introductory interest rate was super-low so we didn't even run it by our bank or credit union. We should have because it has adjusted twice since we bought her. We're thinking of refinancing next year once our credit score is better. On the other hand, when you factor in depreciation, we may be upside down -- you know how it is, as soon as you take her out of the orphanage, she's worth about half. I'm sorry... I'm rambling... What was your question again?)
