Dear Prudence

What is it with old people who say the most inappropriate things? Case in point, the first thing out of my eldest Aunt’s mouth — who I haven’t seen in over two years and who I must host for an entire weekend – relates to my weight. Now I could have made some sharky comments back, but out of difference to my elders, I said nothing. Now I wish I hadn’t shown such restraint. Her comment was just downright rude.
