I know I shouldn't meddle but.............

I had a nice visit with my daughter-in-law last evening and sometimes she shares some of the funny stuff my son does. For example, she is desperately trying to loose 15 lbs. before a trip back east in May.  He gave her a box of chocolates for Valentines Day. She mentioned that her friend got 3 dozen roses and how sweet that was. I know I shouldn't mettle but.......      She also complained to him about how fat she was getting and instead of saying the traditional "Oh honey you're not fat, you look wonderful!" He said " Yes, but your fat is distributed in all the best places" She just laughed and joked about it and I know I shouldn't meddle but............ Why do you not see what you should have taught your sons until they are grown up and think you are meddling?
