"I have to ask you a really stupid question."
"I promise you, it won't be."
"Where am I?"
Blink. Blink.
Where are you in the store? Where are you along your life's journey? Where are you in relation to Jupiter?
"I got lost coming back from Guitar Center. I'm trying to find Mopac."
Ohhh...
I gave the young lad directions (at one point becoming the archetypal big sister: "No, stand next to me. Face this direction. Good. Now, THAT is east...") and sent him on his way.
But in the future I'll have to remember: sometimes it really is going to be a stupid question.
