"Hey, Claire. How are you?"
I had just walked into the bank where everybody knows my name.
"Hey, Shelby, good thanks. How are you?" I said.
"Good."
I added, "I mean, I'd be better if I won the lottery." Alas, last night's Powerball winners were from New Jersey and Minnesota.
"You won the lottery?" she said.
"No, no, no," I was shaking my head, trying to backtrack as quickly as possible. "I'd be better IF I won the lottery.
"Oh," Shelby said, understanding what she'd misheard. "I'd be happy for you if you won."
I considered and discarded a couple of replies related to the bank. She sounded sincere to me, so I just soaked in the nice sentiment.
