A glimpse of why I say that the interior of my van sounds like the inside of a schizophrenic's head:
Kim to me: It was good to see Shae.
Me to Kim: I know. I'm glad she came to the wedding.
Notice this is a private conversation between two adults.
Maggie: Who came to the wedding?
Me: Shae.
Gracie: Who?
Me: Shae.
Gracie: Shae came to the wedding?
Me: Yes.
Gracie: I didn't see her.
Me: That's because she didn't stay for the reception.
Maggie: Who didn't stay for the reception?
Me: Shae. (Feeling a little exasperated)
Gracie: Why didn't she come to the reception?
Me: I don't know.
Gracie: Didn't she want cake?
Me: I don't know.
-slight pause-
Ellas: Who's Shae?
Me to Kim: Please shoot me.

What's wrong with that exchange? It sounds very normal to me!
