Free me from chaos

"What do you want me to say?" she said.

That is the stupidest question I have ever heard, in my entire life.  I would like to have seen my face as it happened too; probably looked as dumbfounded as I felt.  I really do not remember what I said.  Instead my brain pondered why she said what she did and what she meant by saying it.  First of all, I had to ask myself if there was something I wanted to hear.  Second, did this mean she only wanted to tell me what I wanted to hear, because I wanted to hear it?  I think she probably knew what to say, but did not want to say it.  I wanted her to be honest, I wanted to hear the truth.  I may have said, "I don't want you to lie to me."  In that moment logic failed me and I forgot that not lying is not always the same as being completely honest.
