Happy Tuesday!

"What are you doing?" 

My girl asked me yesterday, with an innocent smile, while I was in the kitchen, minding my own business. 

I was like..."Say that again?" 😒

My girl went "Um....what are you working on?" 

I was like..."That's better." 😄

Do you see any problem here? 

"What are you doing?" is actually a bit rude, as it comes across as confrontational or abrupt. 

It's almost like an interrogation. 

You are basically hinting - Hmmm....I'm smelling trouble. 

Typically, I would just ask, "What have you been up to?" or "What are you up to?" if I am just being curious in social settings. 

 "What are you doing?" can still be used, but NOT alone. It would be much more appropriate to add "darling/sweetie/my dear" at the end to soften the tone. 

If you learned something from this - congratulations! 

That means you CARE about manners and your inner self wants to learn more, so you can sound classier!
