(My grandmother’s friends come into the room and sit down next to me.)
Male Friend: “How are you doing, [My Name]?”
Me: “Okay.”
Male Friend: “Just okay? Not fabulous? Not superb? Not fantastic?”
(I turn and look at my grandmother, who is laying in a hospital bed on life support and is predicted to pass sometime in the next 24 hours.)
Me: “Well, maybe if circumstances were different, I’d be more than okay.”
Male Friend: *stiffly* “Well, you should be using other adjectives than ‘okay.’”
