Why do they want to know?

Thank you all for your valuable input!
Now that I have a bit better understanding of the pesky mums, I think I can handle their curiosity better. It was like the scales fell off from my eyes.
I will also remember where we stand in Singapore (I must say that our kids are not even in your league, though).
When the things get tougher again, I know where to visit!
:thankyou: -

The next time you two are trapped in the same elevator, tell him you really like the design of his swimming trunks. :evil: :evil:pacetone:
Like most parents have already told you, they're trying to make small talk and really no harm. My next door neighbour loves to ask me questions, \"going out?\", where to?,etc...... and most of the time, I'll say, yes.... and walk very fast to avoid answering more.
Once I took the lift with a neighbor.. He was in his swimming trunk (only), dripping wet all over.. I asked \"Just came from the pool?\", and he answered politely \"Yes\".. Then there was silence in the air.. I broke the uncomfortable silence and asked \"Forgot your towel?\", and he answered politely again \"Yes\". Then the lift reached the floor on which I stayed, and I scurried off, feeling really silly!!! :siao: -

So embarrassing and don't know where NOT to look
But more embarrassing for him cos the neighbour has seen him almost in the buff.
