Boundaries, Anyone?

My latest conversation with an Indonesian cab driver:

Him:  How old are you?
Me: 28.
Him:  How long have you lived in Indonesia?
Me:  8 months.
Him:  Who do you live with?
Me:  My husband.
Him:  Where is he from?
Me:  America.
Him:  How long have you been married?
Me: 8 years.
Him:  Do you have any children?
Me: No, we're still waiting a long time yet.
Him:  Oh, so you're a career woman.
Me:  Yes.
Him:  Good good. (thinking)  So what do you use?
Me:  What do you mean?
Him:  Do you use condoms?  Do you eat pills?  How do you not have children?
