OK...Explain This To Me...

...when you try to reach out as a friend, and nothing more than that, and you get beat down because you asked said person about their kids, and they reply that it's all you ever talk about, what does one do? Ya, I have a bad memory. So send me to the gallows. But at least I was concerned about something that gives life meaning. So what if it was repetitive? At least I asked about something other than a body part.
