Presented with an awkward text message

During lunch, my W texts me:

"Some college guy just tried picking me up. Haha. Still got it, I guess"

Ok, I was stuck. I literally was sitting there for 5 minutes staring at my phone, formulating a response. My first few choice responses would have been reactionary, passive/aggressive, sarcastic, snarky, etc. Not good.

Maybe I should just respond with something like "Haha" or "LOL". Keep it light-hearted.

Then I thought, what if I just don't respond? But then, in this case, even silence says something.

Then I texted back: "Yes. My wife is very beautiful."

Ugh! Mistake? I don't know. She hasn't responded back yet.
