I don't know exactly but I guess I would say that there was not any illocutionary force intended since she was actually reading. But if it were intended and the context to which you understood the utterance to said was true then it would be a warning.
That was so funny! haha. I'm sorry I scared you, but at least you got a great blog topic out of it! :) I agree with Michael. I think when a person is "reading" something aloud with no intent, none of these rules can imply because there is no speech act. It was an utterance, but there was no expressive intent because I was just reading! And there were no felicity conditions such as sencerity!
