Ca Va, Again?

In French, the common greeting is 'Ca va?', which is the same as the English 'How's it going?'. The standard response is 'Ca va bien.', which means 'It's going well.' So the exchange goes:

Person #1: Ca va?
Person #2: Ca va bien.

We told Chase "when someone says 'Ca va?', you say, 'Ca va bien'." Chase heard this a little diffferent and now says, 'Ca va again'! French speakers understand him, but we chuckle everytime he says it!
