How are we today?

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?

Surprised you didn't share your smokes with me....I thought we were close! So happy you are writing again, it makes my day to read about your thoughts. How are you by the way?
