I can't wait to be over 70... you know that age, when you don't give a #%* what you say to anyone....
I've just had the following conversation with an elderly relative:
Aged one: I'm glad to see you've lost some weight since you got back from holiday!
Me: Um, actually I've gained .5kgs since I got back, in fact I lost 2.5kgs on holiday
Aged one: Funny, because your face looked really fat when you got back (complete with hand motions to indicate vast fatness of face)
Me: Ohhhh (what does one say to a compliment like that!) well I have definitely gained weight since I got back.
Aged one: maybe it's because you've had your hair cut that you look thinner.
Riiiiight!
Fortunately, I can see the funny side of a situation like this..... I've had years of experience....

Good on you for holding back. I would've said something mean ;-)
