This reminds me of The Hobbit when Bilbo says good morning to Gandalf, and he asks what Bilbo meant by it.

What do you mean?" he said. “Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?” The Hobbit would have been a fairly rare book in the United States in the early 1960s, and it’s interesting to wonder if Schulz actually read it back then.

Sometimes a “good morning” is a “good morning”.
