Do you know?” Your friend confidently answers in Japanese, “Yes, I’m going to get married. I want some children - two boys and two girls. Do you want to have children?” Wondering if your friend has been talking to your mother you answer sharply in Japanese, “I don’t know!” Your friend sure is full of questions. She continues in Japanese, “How much longer until you’re graduated? Have you met anyone special that you’d like to marry? What if you don’t find someone right away? Do you think you’ll find someone anytime soon? If you don’t find someone, what will you do then?” Feeling short of breath and thinking you may pass out soon, you explode in Japanese, “I’m not sure!

I’ve got to go. We can talk later, and I’ll answer your questions then! Are you done?!”
