^ redvelvet, I thought you were smarter than that. :(
and saieen, good point again - all of our mothers have asked others silly questions at least once in their lives... keep your own mothers in mind ladies.
SU, and Saieen,
What I wrote was meant to be humorous....at least to me anyways. If you read the last part of my post, "Of course most of us are too RESPECTFUL to go around harrassing people in general, LET ALONE AUNTIES, with nosy questions. SO we just end up giving a polite vague response and making a getaway. All these brilliant cheeky responses come to us WAY LATER...when the auntis have left. LOL!" That implies that I don't go around giving cheeky responses to Aunties and their nosey questions. I simply give them polite answers and go about my way. All the "smart answers" I would have liked to give come to me in my own privacy after the auntis have left. Being single (especially), I fully understand the unfavorable consequences that would result if heaven forbid I do give a "smart answer." But it doesn't hurt to exaggerate a situation and get a laugh from coming up with silly/ ridiculous (although impractical) possibilities.
