Boring Holidays

First day back at school today.  I spotted one of the girls who's in my ensemble as she was coming back from a piano lesson.  Big smiles.

Me: How are you?
Girl: Good!
Me: How was your holiday?
Girl: Good! ... Okay... [a bit flatter] Well, boring.
Me: Oh.  [hopefully] But you did lots of practice, right?
Girl: Yes! [flatter] A bit... [even flatter] Well, no.
Me: I'm going to take that last answer as the most correct, yes?
Girl [sigh]: Yes.
