Friday night: go out with quiet friends. Saturday AM questioning: "How was your evening?" "Fine". "OK".
Saturday night, go out with less quiet friends. :) The Sunday AM questioning was rather more rigorous.
So I described what I did Friday. There were telling hesitations, of course. But 90% of the questions had immediate and honest answers. Just with the day changed.
