Making Conversation

Making conversation with dotty dad:
"You can remember things from the past then?"
"I s'pose so."

Later:
"What did you want to be when you grew up, when you were little?"
"Don't know really."

Later:
"Would you like to go for a walk at the beach?"
"Don't care."

Pointing to lotissement where we had a house 4 years ago:
"Do you remember that place?"
"Oh yes."
"We used to live there."
"Oh. Really?"

Imagined conversations:
"Were you ever unfaithful?"
"Not really."
"Did you ever have sex with another woman?"
"Sex??? I think they were blue."

"Why did you get married?"
"Don't know really."

"What is your favourite food?"
"Eee, I don't know really."

"If I stuck a red hot poker up yer bum, would it hurt?"
"I s'pose so."

Real converstions:
*fidgeting*
"What's the matter?"
"Er... I don't know."
"Loo?"
"Oh, yes."
"That way."
"Ta."
"...That's the shower!"
"Oh, is it?"

*sat in car*
"Safety belt?"
"Er..."
"That thing there..."
repeat systematically x 1bn²

"Why did you scoff the present for the boys?"
"Oh, it (Boys' Own 'Chocs Away' choccies with make it yourself polystyrene aeroplance special gifty) was for them?"

Am I being mean?
Probably...
*bangs head against wall*
