From the page: "We've all been on the receiving end of painfully personal questions. In the white-collar corporate factories where I've worked, protocols abound, so people are hyper-sensitive to blundering into one's personal life. As a result my awkward questions always come from a) relatives and b) acquaintances. (I find that friends, whom I can pick and choose, don't venture into inappropriate territory too often). One relative inquired, a few days before my wedding, how often I got my period and did I know when I ovulated. A male relative asked me when I'd be able to fit into my jeans again -- two weeks after my first child was born. Another wondered, over dinner with my second husband, whether I missed my first husband."
