[QUOTE="Andy, post: 370495, member: 5096"] Does she see this aunt often? If not, I would look at it as being the same way we address people during the day. One person will come up to you and say, "Hi, how are you?" and you usually will say, "I am good, and you?" and the conversation centers on the good in life where the next person, usually a closer friend, someone you converse with more will ask the same question a minute later and you say, "Could have been better. I am having a bad day today." and the conversation goes into the problems you are having. Having her "happy" about the braces with her aunt made a much more pleasant lunch time then if she went into the "poor me - I didn't get what I wanted" story. She wanted her aunt to think all was well in her world and may have exaggerated a bit to keep the conversation going. [/QUOTE]
