Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to

We were at my wife's parents house on Sunday doing the whole family Christmas thing, having a good time and taking about this and that. Her mother at one point said "I'm thinking I should get a facebook page." We laughed and made a joke about being to old for a facebook page but she replied, " why not, unless there is something you don't want me to see." I try not to lie to people, but my wife and I have different religious views, moral views, and life styles then her mother. So I said nothing, and the silence was golden. People often ask questions they don't want to hear the answers to, but then are offended by the answers they get in return. So the moral of the story is don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to!
