Google (or Alexa) are more gooder:
Mom: son, What language do they speak in the UK?
Son: hey, mom, I'm at work right now. Just google it.
Mom: I'll just wait 'till you get home. I don't want to bother the Google people with that. I'm sure they have more important questions to answer.
(how does that compare to Yahoo answers?)

Your questions remind me of a former vice presidential running mate who was also the governor of Alaska.
Daughter: Mom! I'm pregnant again! Why does this keep happening to me?
Mom: It's okay dear. Your father and I will explain it to you when we think you're old enough to know.

Was going to moderate your post, but there's no option for "Completely Flabbergasted."
To be oneself, and unafraid whether right or wrong, is more admirable than the easy cowardice of surrender to conformity

Or possibly 'interesting.'
But it's already +5 and you can't get more pregnant so just relax.
