Stranger at a funeral

Stranger: "Nice to see you after so many years."

// I have no idea who you are... //

Me: "Hi, nice to see you."

Stranger: "And how's your mother doing?"

// Gah! //

Me: "My mother is, um, dead. She, um, died, you know in '75"

Stranger: "I didn't know that. How could I not know that?"

// I don't really care. //

Me: "..."

(An hour and a half later.)

Stranger: "Well, I'll be off soon. Gotta pick up my daughter."

// ... not really interested in your kid... //

Me: " ... "

Stranger: "Do you have kids?"

// Ugh. //

Me: "No."

Stranger: "Do you have a man?"

// Aaargh. //

Me: "No."

Stranger: "Huh, why not? Such a beautiful, strong, independent woman."

// Eh? //

Me: "..."

Stranger: "Probably too independent. They don't like that."

// OK, now you're making sense. //

Me: "True."

Stranger: "You really have character. And J. was so glad you came today."

// Huh. //

Stranger: "Bye!"

Me: "Bye."
