WHY? Mira

“Do you want to play outside?”

“Sorry, I can’t.”

“Why?”

“I’m busy.”

“WHY?” says Miss I love to butt into people’s business.

“I have some homework to finish.”

“So WHAT?” asks Miss I love to butt into people’s business.

“So, I don’t want to get a zero, because, if you haven’t noticed, I have Asian parents.”

“W-”

Boom!

The door is now shut.

I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!

Who is that? What are those? Where are you going? When can you play outside? Why are you so busy?

Yeah. That’s right. Take it all in.

When I say I don’t want to do something, LEAVE ME ALONE and take the first answer!

Have you ever had one of those moments when someone asks you something and then you tell them the answer but the person will keep asking you more questions like, “Why not?” It’s so annoying! People should just mind their own business and take the first answer.

I don’t just get annoyed at this because it’s irritating. I also get annoyed because it is not anyone else’s business but mine! Don’t you feel the same way?

Imagine a girl doing homework, when suddenly, the doorbell rings. So she goes and answers the doorbell. Her friend asks her if she can play outside. She says, “I’m busy.” And then, her friend says, “Why?”

Maybe I do it sometimes too. But I don’t do it like it’s my heartbeat! I only ask when it is necessary. Not by butting into someone’s business! I understand that people want to go outside and play and have fun, but if I say I can’t, then I expect people to take that answer with them and leave. Not let it go in through one ear and out of the other. Am I right?

There is only one solution: to just shut the door and walk away.

To anyone who tends to ask so many questions: please stop asking so many questions! Half the time it’s probably not even your business. Some people just need to give themselves a short lesson about taking the first answer!

Wait a second, the doorbell is ringing.
