It's a cultural thing maybe.

You more accurately described how I read the sentence than I. Thanks, but don't you just hate it when someone is smarter.

Little Rickey's "Bless your little heart" response was a tell and I'm enjoying his hard time.

Speaking of tells, it's always fascinating when you tell us what you hate and what you enjoy.

You should count your blessings that a fascinating person is taking the time to enlighten you. Lost causes being the only ones worth fighting for.

I've read about 'humility' in books. Describe the feeling to me.
