Honest

The phrase, “Can I ask you an honest question?” doesn’t make sense to me anymore. Maybe it’s because he uses it far too much. In fact, it precedes every real question he asks me, and he asks me a lot of questions. He’s not the honest one, he just demands that my answers to his questions be honest. What’s an honest question anyway? What’s a dishonest question? He forgets that everything I say and do is honest because my brain won’t let me lie and my mouth won’t let me think. Maybe next time I’ll try really hard to reply with a lie. “Can I ask you an honest question?” “Can I give a dishonest answer?” Yeah. That’ll shit him up.
