Comebacks to that all time favorite question "Why Aren't You Married Yet?"

"Maybe some women aren't meant to be tamed. Maybe they just need to run free 'til they find someone just as wild to run with them." ~ SATC


Because I spent the day doing dishes, organizing my desk, and making a budget(and I didn't feel that anyone would care to read about those adventures!) I decided to post one of my favorite emails.



Now, if you have lived in a small town and have waited to get married (and by waited I mean like over the age of 20) you have heard this question a million times. I'm five years over the age of 20 and have heard this question about a zillion times.



Single girls, I think we should all start using one of these lines. I've highlighed my favorites.

Oh, and here's a fantastic song by Trick Pony called, "The Bride" that fits this topic! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jexdrndvxu0

Ultimate Comebacks
1. You haven't asked yet.
2. I was hoping to do something meaningful with my life.
3. Because I just love hearing this question.
4. Just lucky, I guess.
5. It gives my mother something to live for.
6. My fiancée is awaiting his parole. (Sidenote: In Logan people would probably think that's better than being single.....)
7. I'm still hoping for a shot at Miss America.
8. Do you know how hard it is to get two tickets to Miss Saigon?
9. I'm waiting until I get to be your age.
10. It didn't seem worth a blood test.
11. I already have enough laundry to do, thank you.
12. Because I think it would take all the spontaneity out of dating.
13. My co-op board doesn't allow spouses.
14. I'd have to forfeit my billion dollar trust fund.
15. They just opened a great singles bar on my block.
16. I wouldn't want my parents to drop dead from sheer happiness.
17. I guess it just goes to prove that you can't trust those voodoo doll rituals.
18. What? And lose all the money I've invested in running personal ads?
19. I don't want to have to support another person on my paycheck.
20. Why aren't you thin?
21. I'm married to my career, although recently we have been considering a trial separation.
22. (Bonus reply for Single Mothers) Because having a husband and a child would be redundant.
