Top questions people ask you

[Tippiechick]

1. Are you Asian? No, but my eyes are extremely almond shaped. I am actually Scottish-American and Cherokee Indian.

2. Can I touch your belly? NO. Just because a woman is pregnant does not mean that she wants you touching somewhere you would never ask to touch otherwise.

3. Why are you majoring in Education when you could do "so much more?" I hate this one... I could have majored in my second two choices: Political Science or Biology. But, I chose a field where I can make a daily impact on little ones' lives. You know, the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world...

4. What are you going to do with your dogs when the baby gets here? The same thing we did before the baby gets here... We aren't going to chain them up in the backyard simply b/c some people don't think it's good for children and dogs to be in the same house! Plus, it has actually been proven that children introduced to dogs in their household have a decreased risk of allergies.

And, it's wonderful for a child's psyche to have a pet around!!!

What ARE you ? People can't usually tell my ethnicity

Did you dance ? I get this one when I go home because I DID in fact dance take dance lessons and later go on to be in the company and did the yearly recitals and community shows and I guess people remember seeing me in those shows

Hold old are you ? I guess I look younger than I am

Why don't you have a boyfriend ?

[DZPrincess2003]

Are these real?

Why on earth guys who see them/touch them feel the need to ask.... do you see a freakin scar? No, well, guess what? They are real. And they aren't huge for goodness sake, just perfect.

You have a twin brother? How old is he? Are you identical?

Are you people serious??? I can't tell you how many times I get these.... he's my TWIN, which makes him my age... and since I'm a girl and he's a guy, then no, we obviously are NOT identical.

Why do you have triangle Z all over everything?

This one is my favorite from my 3 year old nephew. Try explaining what a sorority is to a toddler.

Do you guys have ESP?
If I hit her do you feel it?
(Um no, you need to stop watching so much tv)

ahahahahahaha, I get this too!!! I'm always like, go ahead and punch him and I'll let you know if I feel it.

[AOPIHottie]

I also get...

"are those REAL?" yes, they are, and if you try to touch them, you are losing a hand-maybe the whole arm.


"Why don't you have a boyfriend? You hang out with all those guys, but why won't you go out with any of them?" Uh, because they are my FRIENDS, therefore I am not attracted to them like that.

"You and J are dating right??" This one about my boss/guy roommate, because he and I are best friends and hang out together all the time and live together, but we are JUST FRIENDS. I hear that question at least 5 times a day, usually from the same people. Which makes the 2nd question I get asked pointless-if I was dating J you wouldnt need to ask why I don't have a boyfriend.

[Lady Pi Phi]

Say eh!?

Can I have a smoke? - not unless you show me some ID you little punk or you have $5000 to pay my fine when I get caught giving cigarettes to minors (which by the way I do not)

Do you have SGI open? - no, you have it on your computer, use your own!

[kstar]

Klynda? Are you black?
No, my name is from Star Trek, and do I look black?

Are they real?
Yes, I was just given superior genetics.

Are you anorexic/buliemic?
Not currently, I just have a fast metabolism. And if I was, do you think you asking would make me give it up? Eating Disorder recovery is a long tiring process, and it takes more than a stupid person asking a stupid question to make people realize that they are hurting themselves.

Why are you so short when both your parents are over six foot?
I am not short, I am over the average height for the American woman, I happen to be shorter than my parents because genetics made me this way. My mother's mother was only 4'11", she thought I was super tall.

Are you still dating X?
No, I gave him back the engagement ring.

Oh, why did you do that?
Why is this any of your damn business? Why not just leave it at the fact that we're not getting married.

Did that hurt?
No, having a needle shoved through skin and cartilege feels like getting a foot rub, and it tastes like chocolate.

What color are your eyes?/ How did you get them that color?
They are grey, and I was born with them that way.

Oh, and the worst one:

You're in a sorority? You sold out, didn't you?
Last I checked, I only had to rush to recieve my trust fund, I didn't have to pledge. I pledged because I liked the girls and the values. I'm not so sure how that's selling out, since I didn't compromise my ideals and values to join, nor did I drop any of my friends. I just made new ones.

Why are you so beautiful?

What color Mercedes should I buy you?

Is 3 carats big enough?

I HATE that one! I have people constantly tell me, "I thought you were a non-conformist." To which I say, "Are you wearing clothes? Yes? So, do you feel like you're conforming?"

[AlphaGamDiva]

Are those your real eyes?
no, i stole them. i took them from someone on the street and ran like hell! it's called gray-blue/light-blue, whatever. they are in all ways mine...i get 'em from my mama.

Will you ever go back to school?
maybe, maybe not....what i want to do doesn't require the ol' university diploma...shocking, i know, but true...not everything in life requires a diploma...i know that it's "best" to have one, but i can get another kind of education and use those skills....i believe that cosmetologists have a wonderful education....you don't? let me cut/color your hair right now without one and see what you say. i may go back later on for a business degree, but not right now....oh, i'm sorry....was that too much of nunna yo' biz-nass?!

Is that your boyfriend?
YES! and isn't he CUTE!

That makes no sense. You were clothing out of utility and necessity. It is different than something you have a choice about. I just wanted to get that out.
