Here are some conversations posted in the newspaper which someone overheard.
I’ve add my comments as well.
How would you respond to them?
1.
Girl on platform: "OMG, they have a vending machine on that train. Oh wait, it's a reflection."
Me: If I had been on the spot, I would have pushed her towards the track. :p
2.
Son: "Mummy, are you half-married or whole-married?"
Me: Hahaha, so cute. I always wonder how children learn that kind of thing.
I would say, "I am married in Japan. I am bachelor in Sydney."
3.
Girl 1: "Sometimes I wish I wasn't so smart so that people would just take me seriously."
Girl 2: "I understand, it's not your fault that you're so smart."
Me: I can understand, too. I used to say like that in Japanese. :p

I used to say things like that in Japanese.
I like how you would react , sir.
2.) I dunno, if I were the woman, I'd ask him if I half gave birth to him.
3.) I say that statement would make a nice zen koan.
your reaction is really diffiult to understand (1&3)...high level...haha whats it zen koan?
Argh, just noticed a typo in my first sentence ("Do us all a favor: don't have kids.") Well, that one basically means that the woman is so dumb that she should be prevented from reproducing and filling the human population with more dumb people. I know, it's mean, but that's how I feel sometimes :p
The second one, well, that one's difficult to explain. I'll just say that we in the west have a stereotype of Buddhist monks in that they think about unanswerable riddles in order to help them meditate. So what I'm basically saying is what those girls were saying did not make any sense at all, lol.
now got it
