[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say, Why do you ask?[/quote]

This is a stupid response. People ask because they're curious.[/quote]

Why are you curious?[/quote]

Because I’m a naturally curious person who is interested in other people. [/quote]

So in--

You: "Are you planning on having more kids?"
Response: "What makes you ask?"

Your response wouldn't be to inwardly think, yikes that is none of my business? Just FYI, if you said "Because I’m a naturally curious person who is interested in other people" I would respond

- I am having a miscarriage as we speak
- My marriage is in trouble
- I can't and it's so painful
- I am depressed or dying, and don't think it's wise
- My husband can't get it up

Even if none of the above are true.

If you asked,

- Why did you keep your maiden name?
- Because I’m a naturally curious person who is interested in other people

I would respond,

"because I think people who do it are dumb"

It seems like often questions have agendas[/quote]

Maybe you think that saying you're having a miscarriage as we speak would make me uncomfortable, but it wouldn't. I'm not afraid of traditionally uncomfortable discussions. [/quote]

Ha, good one - because I wouldn't feel uncomfortable either (I am the person you are quoting) if the person voluntarily brought it up. But if thy didn't want to talk about something so painful and personal with me in response to a casual question? Not feeling bad is not kind and not something to brag about. [/quote]
