YOU'RE KIDDING

Hello everyone and welcome back to the Daily Vitamin. I hope your week is going well.  

Today's expression is: You're kidding! / Are you kidding? (Informal, used in spoken English.)

It is used when: you do not believe or agree with what someone has said.

Example 1:
Debbie: Theresa and Jay are getting married.
Tom: You're kidding! I thought they broke up with each other last year.

Example 2:
Mr. Abbott: I have decided to sell my computer company and give the money to charity.
Mrs. Abbott: You're kidding! I don't believe you for one moment, Michael. You love that company more than anything else in the world!

Example 3
Rich: Do you want to go with me to the jazz festival this weekend?
Kim: Are you kidding? I hate jazz music. Why don't you ask Lori, instead?
