This is a strange question.
But last night we went to the theater and people beside us ask this question right off the get-go. I don't know them, not even their names. I thought back later and said later to DH I never ask people that question, but there are these people who ask you so you will ASK THEM. I see it all the time and it drives me nuts.
If it comes up in conversation, then fine. But to ask that as the second line in your conversation to a stranger is very bold. I didn't want to talk about my job.
I got up to stretch and get a drink and in the car later DH said, they have 4 kids, she is a principal, he does this, they do that, their drive is this long to get home tonight, blah blah blah.
I guess with so many personal questions here at the B&B I thought a night out finally away from kids, guests, all that chit chat would be more private for us. Instead we were sitting around sticky beaks.
