1. I feel awful today.
[Makes noise of sympathy] "I'm all ears."

2. I'm afraid you don't like me.
"Ha. Ha, ha!" [looks at me to make sure I'm joking. I laugh. He laughs harder. We laugh together.] "HA HA HA HA HA!" (My T knows I would never say that because he knows I know he likes me immensely.)

3. I don't feel like being here today.
"I'm all ears."
