Questions I Hate

There are 3 questions that I hate when people ask me:

#1 - How's married life? Honestly, how do they expect me to answer this question? Am I supposed to say it sucks? (It doesn't.) Married life is a lot like life when we lived together - only now I have insurance.

#2 - When are you having kids? None of your damn business, asshole. I actually find this question to not only be annoying but incredibly rude. How is the timing of when we will have kids anyone's business beside mine and Kenji's? And, furthermore, how do you know I haven't been trying to get pregnant for 5 years and you just poured salt in the wound? Why is this an acceptable question to ask?

#3 - So what's been happening/what's new? This one isn't so bad once in a while or when "Not much" is the expected response. But don't ask it and then look at me expectantly - like you want a long, detailed story about my life. I'm really not that exciting. Especially on a weekly basis.

This blog is brought to you by my oh-so-caring bosses, who, combined, manage to ask each of these questions at least once a week.
