I was recently completely baffled by the following
exchanges, which occurred within a few days of each other.
Exchange 1
Rachel: “How are you?”
Other person: “Better than you.”
Rachel [inside her head]:
huh?
Exchange 2
Rachel: “How are you?”
Other person: “Stronger than you.”
Rachel [inside her head]: OK, this is getting weird.
I finally asked Atkins about these responses, and apparently
they are just another way of saying “I’m fine” and are not meant to suggest
inferiority on the recipient’s part whatsoever. Still not used to it...
