I'm seeking advice from anybody who can contribute. Please feel free to either post a comment to this post or send me mail directly (dorfa1 at gmail dot com). Ok, here we go.
Sometimes, specifically when I meet new people, the friendly question comes up in the conversation - "how many children do you have?" How should I answer such question without shattering the conversation into small, awkward pieces?
If I say "two", the next question will be "how old" or "where do they go to school" or any other question that will require me either to lie or to, well, shatter the conversation.
If I say "one alive and one no longer with us", well, then I just shattered the conversation.
If I say "one" (and nothing else), then I'm not telling the truth.
What to do?
Again, any good advice will be greatly appreciated.
