Default Grumpy pilots?

My 12 year old daughter and I went up yesterday. There was a little
confusion on the taxiway between a bonanza and an archer that we heard
while departing. Nothing unusual. Both pilots were polite and both
offered to get out of the other guy's way. My daugher heard the
exchange differently. She wanted to know why those guys weren't being
very nice. I explained that they were just trying to communicate with
each other clearly but in as few words as possible. Funny how kids or
maybe any non-pilot interprets the way we talk on the radio.
