You Did What? Oh. Cute.
You worked where? I thought you were a waitress. An office job! Cute.
You did what? A marathon? Are you sure it wasn’t a half-marathon? Like a real, real marathon? Oh yeah? Cute.
Your kid did what? Well, you’re in a good school district. I’m sure they helped them a lot. You know, school these days. It’s so much easier than back in my day. Back then, we really had to earn those medals. But yeah. Congratulations.
You got what? Well, that must be nice. I never got anything like that. What, did you find some loophole? You applied and got it? Oh. Well it must have been some program to help women and single moms, right? That’s nice that they let you have it.
You wrote that? What, did you use AI? I mean, can’t anyone write anything these days?
You were invited where? For what? You’re going that far just to participate in a hobby? Let me guess…you have to pay them. What? They’re paying you? That’s kind of weird, right? Don’t they usually pay experts?
You know what I heard? What…you said that? No, you didn’t. I heard it somewhere else. No, I know I heard it somewhere else. Oh, well, maybe you saw it too, and that’s why you said it.
You translated that? Like, from one language to another? I didn’t know you spoke that language. Well, yeah, I knew you went to…
