What’s The Word

(I attend a local university that’s about a 20-minute drive from my home, and live with my parents. I am not a very social person, and dislike small talk. I come home from an evening class. The only way to get anything other than one word answers from me is to ask me to describe or explain something.)

Mom: “How was your day today? No one-word answers.”

Me: “It was good.”

Mom: “I said no one-word answers.”

Me: “I gave you a three-word answer.”
