@RickiTarr First off, the way you end the post does have a certain comedy to it in light of the subject matter.

Can't say my boomer mom communicates that way, but my partner and I are Gen X about a decade apart and I do see her do this a bit. Mostly in terms of less important courses of action, like going to dinner. I've had to learn that "So, what would you like to do about dinner?" actually means "I'd like to have dinner pretty soon."
