When someone is talking and I say, “That’s interesting,” it means I don’t think it is interesting.
If I think what they are saying is really, truly interesting, I won’t say anything at all. I’ll just listen.

Oh its funny how we all have our catch phrases that really don’t mean what someone would think it means. Mine Is “Fine”. If you ask me how I am and I just say “fine” well then it actually means I am not really happy. You know, just like when you husband asks if you are angry and you answer “No” when you are really seething inside. Just thought I would share…
Hi Marie,
Yes, this has gotten me through many a detailed description of someone’s: a) house at the River b) “freaky” dream they had last night or c) kitchen remodel.
