Thanks for the link. Good one. I have conversations like this all the time, even with people who aren't my parents. Either they're not really listening or they are trying to second-guess me.
Do Chinese people answer a question with a question, too? I know this woman who no matter whoy you're talking to, if you ask a question will break into the conversation with "Why do you ask?"
Does it occur to her that a) I'm not talking to her and b) I ask questions to get information? Apparently not.

Wow, this is exactly the conversations I have with my mom. Thanks for capturing it so well!
No matter how I zoom in or open in a new tab, I can't get the lettering big enough to read. Hope someone can help me out here.
