Random Expat Observation No. 6

Sometimes people greet you with an "you alright?" And they don't really mean for you to go into how you are doing. 

I did not know this when I first started taking Gabby to school.  A kind mom (or mum) said this to me and I started babbling on about my morning.  She looked surprised at my verbal vomit.  I am hopeful that my being an expat will give me a pass on the many times I will inevitably insert my foot in my mouth.  I am just wondering if this pass has an expiration.  If I have been here 5 years will they still take pity on me when I say or do the wrong thing.
