I'm sure it'll come up great.” Then I totally surprised myself by saying, “Knowing you, you'll get 'em all to hatch.” I didn't say it mean or anything, I really meant it. I laughed, and then she laughed, and that's how I left her—sprinkling her soon-to-be sod, smiling.
Is the comment "Knowing you, you'll get 'em all to hatch" not good? It sounds like a praise. Why the speaker explained " I didn't say it mean or anything"?
