Taboo Questions

Today I went to the English school.
Today’s lesson was “Deflecting questions”.
I studied how to deflect taboo questions.

The examples of taboo questions are following.
“How old are you?”
“Do you have a boyfriend?”
“Are you married?”
“Do you have children?”

I’ve been asked those questions so many times by my friends in Illinois!
I recalled the terms of my curious friends, and I felt very funny during today's lesson.

I’ve answered every question honestly in Illinois, not because I haven’t had the skill to deflect the nasty questions but because I've purely wanted to make myself understood to my precious friends.
