OK, AIBU has had some harrowing topics this year, so I think it's time us Mumsnetters (elves) had a break and some fun.
AIBU to ask you what's the daftest question you've been asked?
I'll start you off. Watching TV with DC and was asked, "Did xxx actor make this film before he died?"

I once mentioned to my son that St John the Baptist was Jesus's cousin.

He replied "on which side? Did God have a brother? Blimey imagine having God as a brother, having him to live up to!"

"Where do I sit?" (A couple of weeks ago, after playtime, we always have English, they've sat in the same English places since October, she could see the rest of the class sat in their English places. I said I wasn't going to tell her where she sat, because she knew, and sure enough, she went and sat in the right place).

DB is the middle child of three. He once said "I remember when you were pregnant, Mum," and she asked, "With who?"

These are great. They've reminded me of when my DS came home puzzled from school one day and asked "What are nuns for?"
Excellent question! :)
