I’d say you are geniune.
That reminds me of something I heard about someone seeing a friend’s new baby and they thought to themselves, “My, my..., that’s the ugliest baby I’ve ever seen in my life”, but of course they were not going to say that. So, about all they could say was, “Yep, that’s a baby all right!” LOL!
So, yep... “genuine” huh?
LOL!
