the short way out

have you ever had someone ask you a question, and you knew the answer, but you didn't want to talk about it, so you instead you gave the short-- end of conversation answer? i do this more than i like to admit. it is kinda like when i tell people i am allergic to something rather than just saying i don't like it (mayo and nuts). when you say you are allergic, end of discussion- that's it- nothing you can do. when you say you don't like it, well that starts a why followed by a but have you had and then into come on just try.

well a couple weeks ago someone asked me if i was multi-cultural. well yeah-duh. but i just said no. but then i felt bad. but it got me thinking. who is not multi-cultural in one way or another?maybe the hermit that doesn't interact with anyone is single-cultural. but i cant think of anyone who isn't somehow at least a couple cultures.

what can we learn from this? 1) I am multi-cultural, 2) i lie when i don't want to talk about it 3) after i lie i feel bad 4) i am allergic to mayo and nuts.
