Someone compliments something you did.

“This is really good.”

You smile. “Thanks.”

For a second, you don’t know what else to do with it.

Then you start explaining.

“It really wasn’t that difficult. I had a lot of help.”

You point out the part that could have been better. You mention that you got lucky. You make a joke about how long it took.

They laugh.

The conversation moves on.
