So, this year my parents have been going nuts! I dunno if it because I am their last child leaving the “nest” or if they are just weird, but they seem to be asking me too much questions.

let me explain what my parents have asked me this past hour:
Parent 1: What are you doing"
Me: studying
Parent: what are you studying?
Me(holding an ENGLISH BOOK and a biology book sprawled out on the ground!!): english and bio
Parent: Do you want to come help cut the grass? Or are you studying
Me(I think how the heck do I help?): no, I gotta study
Parent(having told me yesterday that he knew we had exams coming next week): don’t you have exams in school next week?
Me: yea
parent: are you ready for them.are you done studying for them?
me( thinking, are you mentally ill, clearly I am still studying considering I have a bio book open and I stil have almost a week to prepare for em): no, I am still studying
parent: do you have a test tomorrow?
me: no
parent: where were you yesterday?
me: at a track meet(parent should know considering i have been doing so for 4 years, and brother did for 2 years before me) and class at night(parents should know, he paid for it and thats where I have been going for the past 4 months every week)
parent: Why you leave so early?
me: senior night
parent: oh did they say your name, and where you are going to college?
me(note, parent came to senior night earlier in the year and knows what goes on.): yea
parent: oh, did they say what you want to do?
me(getitng frustrated and annoyed by now): um, yea do you not remember when you came?
parent: ok, did you go to class?
me: yea, thats what I do every week for the past 4 months, have you not noticed?

and a very intellectual arguement about how many questions my dad asks me and the amount of time wasted in these mindless unimportant questions. my dad tells me I should answer his questions no matter what he asks with respect, but I get more and more mad at him.

Is it wrong for me to be getting frustrated with him? I usually argue with him whenever he asks something dumb, and he always takes it that I am called him dumb, but I am simply trying to point out something he should consider changing.

how can I tell him that he talks too much without sounding mean?

thanks for the help
