not sure about you but i hate small talk.
it.is.just.so.exhausting.
it starts with,
Hey, how are you?
and all i really want to say is,
Do you really want to know? Let's see, my son decides that kicking is the best way of communication now. my son's tantrums are epic. thank goodness, he is cute and when he says i love you, i just melt. My hair is in need of a make-over. I need sleep. My whoo-ha hair is a jungle. I need some ME-TIME. I need a cleaner which we can't afford cuz we have a freaking mortgage to pay. I am just being whiney today.
but i say,
Great. Grand. And you?
and then he/she says,
Yeah, good
and then, awkward, uncomfortable silence.
I miss having conversations with friends whom i can really laugh with, share the same jokes. I miss talking Singlish. I miss my Singaporean friends.
I am not a fan of small talk either. My son is about to turn 3 and you would think he is a trained ninja! I am really afraid he is going to break one of his legs! I am sorry you miss your friends : (
