it's complicated

Feel like writing today. Wanted to express the thoughts in me - it's complicated!
Saying about that, it reminds me for a fun ice-breaking session I had recently.

We had a company team building recently and as usual, the first ice breaking session was on introducing ourselves. As some of us are quite new in the company and some are not working in the same region, so we need to go through this roll call session. The introduction was pretty simple - name, job function/dept and status availability. I guess the purpose of the status availabililty is just for teasing fun. But surprisingly, the remarks given on that was actually quite interesting.

One said he is unsure of his status, need to check back with his mother. And this bring roars to the floor and had response asking for his mother phone number. Another mentioned that her status is complicated and when asked to explain, she said it's just complicated, as once of the choices of status in Facebook. This brings laughters as well. You can imagine how widely Facebook culture is being looped into our daily life. There is also another who need to think whether she's single or already married! Guess it's because she still hasn't had kid and only married for less than 6 months, so it could be not much difference from being single.

The funniest reply was from one of the attendees' kid. He was joining our session as well, so he can't escape from the roll call, either. As a 13 year old boy, he actually mentioned his status is complicated too, mimicking the earlier feedback. Everyone was so surprised on his reply and can't help laughing over it. Even the young boy mother was also laughing uncontrollably and saying she had no idea of his son's status.

Sometimes, even if it's just a simple question, but if you put in variations in your reply, things can be pretty interesting. If we put in effort, sometimes, even simple things can be extraordinary, too. Still, maybe it still need to depend on the time and situation questions are asked, and whether direct or indirect answers can be given. Do you agree so?
