Default Que Raro!

So I'm in the pro shop getting my clubs for the fourth day last week in JD. My caddie walks in and jokeingly I say in Spanish "you sleeping or caddying" The young lady at the desk cracks up laughing and says "Que Raro".
After golf I go back to my room and investigate the phrase. It's explained to me that it means "strange". OK so far-I ask so what's so "strange" about my joke and why did she laugh and say this. No explanation.
Today back in NY I ask a worker who explained like this: The girl at the desk didn't know I spoke Spanish. After dealing with her for 3 days in English I now all of a sudden come out with something in Spanish like this to the caddy and the expression frequently used is "Que Raro"

I still don't get it.

JOHN
