[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why so secret about age? Why ashamed to be “old”?[/quote] It’s not a secret. It’s not about shame. It’s that it’s rude to ask personal questions — unless there’s an actual need to know the information. There’s a whole list of nosy questions that I probably would not respond to, and part of that is because some seemingly innocuous questions aren’t, and I don’t want the burden of having to gently handle other people’s responses to my circumstances. So, I’m old enough to say : “Why do you ask?” And my response depends upon their answer. “Good” answers, by my standards, are things like: “I wonder if you remember Ida’s and the Kalorama Rink”. and “My brother went to Wilson too. You might know him.” “Bad”answers are more about curiosity and comparisons. You don’t need to know my age if what you really want to know is what cosmetics I use. [/quote]
