I guess they'll drive you crazy if you let 'em. I'm not often speechless, just ask my DH, but a few months ago a "harmless" comment left me dumbfounded and quite unable to respond.
My sister-in-law, who had recently lost a great deal of tonnage on weight watchers, remarked that she was getting rid of her size 16 blouses. I said, "oh, you can save some for me", as I often wear loose, oversize tops around the house. She said, "Oh surely you'll be wanting to lose more weight, won't you?"
Try as I may, with all the "consider the source" and so forth, I just can't shake her comment either. I suppose the "other" way to look at is in spite of the hurt & audacity of such a thoughtless remark, it's another little motivation to keep doing the right thing ... [besides, I just KNOW she's going to gain her weight back .... and I AIN'T - so there!!]
The world is full of idiots, we simply have to rise above them!
Ever Onward,
Holly
