Re: How do you answer?
^ Also, Chameli.....if you want to "change the subject".........ask the aunti a broad question about her own life. The kind of question that doesn't have a simple yes or no answer.
For example, if the aunti asks about your SIl.......just say, "It's been so busy this Ramadan that I haven't talked to her lately. But Alhdumolillah she's doing fine. So, HOW ARE YOUR CHILDREN DOING, Aunti?"
And then aunti will get so wrapped up in telling you about her children, she'll forget about your SIL.
Or if the nosy woman works, ask her....."So how is your job going?" Or "How is Ramadan going for you?"
Just side track the person with a question about themselves that they can answer.
