I hate this question and I get it at least once each week.
My responses depend on my mood and who is asking. Here are some of them....
- "You now owe me $20 bucks." (I don't tell them why and really have no reason that I said it)
- "why should I, your marriage didn't last" (Only to someone I don't like)
- "I'm not a serial bride like you are" (ditto, and I did say it twice.)
- "So you are on marriage number 3 and you are 35 years old. You have used up my share of weddings."
- "Didn't you marry and divorce one of your ex-husbands twice?"
- "I hate silly games at bridal showers"
- "Is this a proposal?" (the guy must be worthly of this response)
- "I'm a liberal"
- "I'm impossible to live with" (there is a lot of truth to this answer)
- "I can't live on a schedule" (all truth)
- "I don't need to"
- "Why"
- "I plan to be a hermit after I retire" (I say that one all the time to my mother)
- "There is no room for anyone to move into my house" or "there is no closet space left" or "I have too much furniture to make room for anyone else" (all truth)
But, all I really want to say is, "none of your G. D. Biz"
