I don't get it! What the heck do people mean when they say, "How are we today?" Every time I go to yoga, before beginning the class, my teacher asks, "How are we today?" No one answers but she continues to ask each week. I feel like saying, "Kathie, could you give me a minute, so I could run around to each person and ask how they are doing, then I will come ask you how you are doing (because the we must mean you also) and then I will be able to answer, how WE are doing". Going to the convenience store recently (as I placed my smokes on the counter) the cashier asked, "How are we doing?" It was just the two of us, so the "we" must be he and I. How can I honestly answer that for us because I don't know his side of the equation? I'm not sure what the correct way is, to ask a class how they are doing, but, "How are we?" can't be it, can it?
