I didn't know how to respond. ... Once I went to pick up my kid during the school time.  The teacher brought my kid's stuff out and said "thank you."  I still don't know how to respond.
Q. 2 Many years ago, someone was telling me about her profession as a midwife.  I think being a midwife is such a wonderful and certainly challenging occupation and so I said, "How interesting!"  thinking that was this would elicit more detail, but it closed down the conversation with a guillotine. 
Q. 3 One situation that I encounter often during work is being Muslim, coworkers assume I know everything about Islam which makes it uncomfortable.  Also, coworkers would ask questions about my religion that makes me feel uncomfortable answering.
