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.
