Questions

This weekend we went to a family party. My little brother is the only one of the three of us kids who is unattached romantically at the moment. Josh kept overhearing Matt being asked the inevitable question "So when are you going to settle down and start a family?"Both Josh and I are extremeley sympathetic to how much it sucks to be asked this question. We were both single in our early 30s and had to endure it. I must admit that I got it less since I had been married young and divorced. I guess peole feel that you are fair game unless you have already failed in one marriage. Then you are just hopeless and they leave you alone (thank God). Driving home from this shindig, Josh recounted to me how badly he felt for Matt being put on the spot like that. We started to joke about how the questions train never stops. As soon as you get married, they ask when you are going to have kids? Once the kids come it's "Are they walking yet?" So we played out the entire question train and we think it looks like this: Once you hit college it's... How is school? When do you graduate? Where are you working? When are you getting married? When are you having a child? When is your baby due? Is your baby walking yet? Does your baby like school? Where is your son/daughter going to college? Where does your son/daughter work? When is your son/daughter getting married? When are you going to have grandchildren? and on and on it goes.....
