I know someone who answers, "...I hear you Cat. I know someone who answers, "Better than I deserve," which I thought was just the best answer ever until I tried it myself. Somebody asked how I was, when I said: "Better than I deserve," they said: "Really? Why?" This felt very awkward, and I started to reconsider whether I thought the reply was the best. Clever perhaps. Funny the first time, but no, not the best. <br /><br />My real pet peeve answer is "I'm blessed." Really? Aren't we all blessed? At least tell me why right?Jim Brochowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02198815088328291043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6431308111851572672.post-74269379947963851792009-11-20T17:13:02.347-05:002009-11-20T17:13:02.347-05:00When I ask the question, I value a real, genuine, ...When I ask the question, I value a real, genuine, honest answer.

Kudos to you for considering the question. <br /><br />I usually mean it when I ask "How are you?" I can tell a difference when someone is genuinely interested.
