Thanks-- I'll keep it in mind. The advantage might be that it has no flavor of "please stop teasing me".

I think it manages to avoid the usual unpleasantness associated with saying, "hey, this is serious now", but then, I prefer bluntness anyway.

It doesn't say please at all. It says "we were doing this thing. Now we aren't anymore."

Exactly. It's a status assertion.

I've presumably got some background assumptions that being teased means I'm in a one-down position.
