How (not)to deal with a Rhetorical question?

This happened when I was in the 6th standard.Well,I didn't know the concept of rhetorical questions(I still don't)back then..


Teacher:Do I look like a fool to you?
Me:*silent*
Teacher:Answer me!
Me:No
Teacher:What?!
Me:I mean,Yes
Teacher:WHAT?!!!
Me:I meant, Yes I will answer you but you don't look like a fool to me.
Me: *Uh oh,that came out wrong*

This was just the beginning..Rhetorical questions still continue to put me in a spot even today!
