I was surprised as well. I wonder if a constituent or just plain acquaintance would have gotten the same answer.
When my brother was overseas, I was frequently asked how he was doing. I always answered politely and with appreciation that someone remembered and cared.
I can't even imagine answering in that way, not even if I were suspicious of the motivations for asking. And I can't quite imagine anyone applauding me if I did answer someone that way.
I suppose there's something in this that I'm not grasping.
But that's ok. I don't need to be enlightened.
