My dear lovely wife has been suffering from congestion, headache, cough. She took some medicine this morning and it really gave her some relief. I have had the same type bug. Because she cares about my well being, she said "You should try this, I took some this morning and now I feel like a new woman."
Before I could stop myself, I replied; "That's great, I've been looking for a new woman."
What would have been a more appropriate response?
There is no other APPROPRIATE response. You could have FELT her to verify, or you could say "yes, dear".
