Why do people ask 'Did It Hurt?'

I can remember getting a school paddling and each time when one came away with a burnng bottom and tears in your eyes some idiot (usually a boy) would always ask: "Did it hurt?" Why do people ask such an idiotic question?

Perhaps they realy wanted to know how much it hurt .. I would not ask that of a red terry eyed girl .. .. But I did meet a girl in the hall on my wat to see the Vice Principal .. .. I did my best to consle her and asked who hert her .. .. I said we should find who ever did this to her ... I was heading to Mr H's office and I was sure he could help .. .. she went from crying on my shoulder to pushing me away yelling No you don't understand and entered the bathroom .. .. by the end of my visit to Mr H's office my understand was clear ... ..
