Why is it that the child thinks that a hug and a "Feel better!" is an appropriate response to someone breaking a bone, and the adult thinks that "Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?" is an appropriate response?

Because the child wants you to be happy and the adult either wants you to be miserable or is miserable him/herself? (I hope that wasn't your mom or something.)

Sigh. Humans.

my question is did the person asking about the fight think you provoked an attack by your boyfriend or that you punched him and hurt your hand?

(straight face) Because children are not yet socialized into acceptable behaviour and adults are.

I have a classic "boxer's fracture," so I guess the latter.

My pacifist convictions don't show on the outside?

Yeah, someone miserable or who wants others to be. Bah, humbug. Also, customer service, bah. Phooey. Why do customers think that grants them so much license? Stabby.
