I always gloss over things and just say something along the lines of keeping myself out of trouble because, less face it, not many people would be very interested in what i do anyway!!!Kirstyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14645347058596682545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-91771956740143963142013-08-22T18:46:00.134-07:002013-08-22T18:46:00.134-07:00I struggle with this one as well.

The ones that do are sadly not often people I get to spend a lot of time in the real world. So generally I can't think of much to say either. I guess some of my resistance to answer is because I just wonder how much they are really interested or just being politeRhianna https://www.blogger.com/profile/08015224038142499324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-38348145098355325092013-08-22T16:58:17.856-07:002013-08-22T16:58:17.856-07:00Even when engaged in paid work I find this a hard ...Even when engaged in paid work I find this a hard question to answer sometimes "Oh, just the usual, work and kids" - yep, lame. But if they're only asking out of politeness and you go off into great detail about work and snotty noses then their eyes will glaze over anyway. Not sure what the answer is.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202312345597108131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-17497110838676727712013-08-22T13:25:04.413-07:002013-08-22T13:25:04.413-07:00I'm a chatter box so usually have something to...I'm a chatter box so usually have something to say.

I'm the same, I have lots to say but get stuck when someone actually asks :) Even when I worked, I did the same thing, "oh just been working and doing the mum thing". Next time, I will have to push myself to tell them exactly what's going on, they'll probably not ask again!One Mother Henhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12928028285580684170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-78622149598743015342013-08-21T21:43:06.560-07:002013-08-21T21:43:06.560-07:00I give deliberately vague answers eg.

"same old same old" or "keeping out of trouble" because most of the time people who ask that question don't actually care about your response anyway :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06056352992066648207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-64513610279423297582013-08-21T18:50:19.512-07:002013-08-21T18:50:19.512-07:00Hmm yep.

I never know what to answer - I am at home with two children, when we go out - its to the park or playcentre - stimilating conversation with a 2 and 4 year old is all about teddies and dinosaurs!! Yes I run a business from home, but alot of people don't understand it and its hard to explain that I import goods from Japan to help make children's lunches fun! Then they ask oh so you make the lunches? I say no I import the sandwich cutters etc - and you get a blank oh look. Convo over. <br /><br />Perhaps we should all group together and come up with stimulating convos answers we can use when asked what have you been up too!!<br /><br />LOVE LOVE LOVE Blue man group! Saw them in the UK a few years back. well worth going!! Even have a picture with them somewhere floating around!Bright Shiny Appleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18139024658198884235noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-36309460952018696402013-08-21T17:00:46.855-07:002013-08-21T17:00:46.855-07:00Interesting post and yes, I guess I do struggle wi...Interesting post and yes, I guess I do struggle with that question. But more because I kinda don't want to get carrried away talking about "me". Not sure why.<br />The other question I struggle with is when I have to fill out a form and it asks me: "Occupation" <br />Gee, I'm many things...<br />I saw the Blue Man Group too...Rock Concert Movement #2...raise the roof! :)Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03191888392393911765noreply@blogger.com
