Kat, Your comments are kind of abrupt and don't really educate the folks who had the courage to ask you...Now if they were being rude and not genuinely interested then I would be quick too...But what if they really want to understand PWD better? I guess it is just the teacher in me always trying to educate people. When I get asked I usuall have a couple minute conversation!! Course, I like to talk alot, too!!
