[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to learn how to redirect these idiots, OP. Otherwise, avoid them completely. [/quote]
Please, some examples of redirect. I'd prefer that to slightly confrontational answers like 'why do you ask?" Which invites further discussion. Thanks![/quote]

DP, but I gave a similar answer about a generic or funny comment then re-directing. Examples:

“Has Larlo been accepted to any colleges yet?”

Me: he’s still exploring options. Oh before I forget, can you send me that cake recipe you made for Sally’s party.

“Are you on the work committee that is deciding whether to let Larla go?”

Me: That’s above my pay grade! Anyway, I’ve been meaning to mention, there’s a new coffee shop going up a block away. I’m excited to check out.[/quote]

Those redirects always seem so pointed. And I'm someone who's perfectly comfortable not answering things

"Where's Larlo going to college?"
"We're letting him make that announcement"

"Did your parents leave much of an estate?"
"Yikes. That's quite a question"

I'm not going to add, "Have you been to the farmers market?"[/quote]
