Usually catches people off guard.[/quote]

and it gives you a moment to think of other questions to hit them with.

I've taught my kids this - they don't have to answer questions friends or adults ask. We've had lots of adults try to get information about our salaries etc. People need to learn this skill. When our family moved to a new neighborhood, there were different dads who were tasked with the job of finding out the scoop about neighbors. One was aggressive and my dh was so stunned he seemed to be in an interview. I asked him why he was grilling us. The other dad was so fake nice we had no clue he was information gathering. I recognize it more quickly now and usually shut it down by hitting the asker with 10 questions and ignore their questions. The reality is most people want to talk about themselves and it's so easy to get them answering questions for you. [/quote]

Got it.  Anyone nice is "fake nice" and/opr a gossip.  I can't imagine living this way. [/quote]
