Draft #1
"So what's wrong?""What do you think is wrong?"
Well, if I knew what was wrong, I wouldn't have asked! Like, really. Do you really think I go around asking people a question and then say: "Oh ya! I already know the answer to that! What was I thinking?"
Now, let's elaborate that idea.
"So what's wrong?"
"What do you think is wrong?"
"I dunno. I just want to understand, ya know?"
"What is there to understand?"
Uh, your problem, maybe??!?? The other person's acting all down and sad, then they claim that NOTHING is wrong. Hmmmmmm...
It really bugs me when people answer my question with a question because, well, I asked a question for a reason! Not to add even MORE mystery to the situation!
The funny part is that when you answer the person with a question, THEY get all pissed.
Its even more frustrating when your having a very serious conversation with the other person where you NEED to have all the details or else. Then, they answer you with a question. And you haven't gotten anywhere. ARRRRRRGH!
And that's the worse part: Not moving forward.

Alicia,
Nice job with this one. It makes your point clear and you have a little fun with it, too.
A few points:
1) ...when you're having a very serious conversation... (You used the wrong "your". This one can be replaced by you are so you should use "you're".)
2) I'm not sure the last line really goes with the piece. And if it is necessary to move the piece along, see if you can make it pack a bit more of a punch.
3) Try making a list on a separate piece of paper of the reasons a question as an answer is annoying and then see if there is anything you can add to make the piece stronger.
Let me know when you need me to have another look.
