[quote=Anonymous]I am from an Asian country. For my people, a nod or a smile is equivalent to saying "you're welcome." We don't say "thank you" that much in the first place because we don't usually express emotions verbally. If you help someone, and that person is smiling shyly, we accept the smiley face as an expression of gratitude. I can't speak on behalf of other Asians, but I have friends from neighboring countries with similar cultures. In some countries, it is even disrespectful to say "thank you" to your close friends or family members because it feels like you keep them at arm's length. If your nanny was born in a foreign country, she may not know how to respond. I know I should say you're welcome when someone thanks me, but it never comes naturally.[/quote]
