There are some words that are so "handy" - they acknowledge that the comment was heard, but do not affirm or negate the comment - but can "say" so much with inflection!
Examples:
Oh?
Really!
Interesting -
Whatever -
What do you say when you "heard" the comment - but that's about all you want to do with/about it?

All of the above....

My DH use to get crazy when you ask the kids how school or their day was and out would come ''fine'' in a snotty tone. For me when I would ask what he wanted for dinner he would say 'I don't care' or 'what ever' these answers were like finger nails on a chalkboard. So I didn't cook -he would have to take me out to dinner. Hey, he said he didn't care lol

Oh Stitchit123 I like that one!! DH has been working from home and I honestly admit that I get very tired of constantly needing to plan and make meals. I think I will give him fair warning and then follow your example.

For other people, I say, "I understand". Yes I understand what you are saying. I might not agree or understand how you came up with that but I understand the words that are coming out of your mouth. You can take it anyway you want.
