WTF, Dad??! Thanks a lot...

So I did a stupid "how much should you weigh" on facebook quiz.  It said I should weigh 120, which is absolutely ridiculous and I'd probably look malnourished.  So anyway, I said that and my dad comments on the quiz and goes, "when did you weigh that 7th grade?  Just kidding...you are big boned right?  That should count for a few extra pounds".OK, so WTF?  I responded, "Wow Dad.  You really know how to build up your daughter's self esteem".  I know he's kidding and all.  And seriously, I was already thinking exactly what he said...but still.

    My dad is the same way. They can't see the line you aren't supposed to cross even if you are joking. BTW, I took that quiz too and had an unrealistic weight as well.

    Mariah, my first thought was "WOW" when I saw that on FB. My second was a giggle.

    LOL  Rene, I'm laughing, too because I know he didn't mean it like that...but golly.  I felt my pride get hurt a little bit on that one.

    Sadly, my dad can be so clueless, I could see him saying the same thing. And then I could see my mom kicking his a** for it... :)

    OMG!! I thought it was only my dad. I still clearly remember what he told me one day when I was walking out the door: "Your getting fat, your belt is in the first hole, it should be on the last one" OUCH!! Thanks dad, excuse me while I go stick my finger down my throat! I was in 10th grade and was a size 3, the belt was one I had in middle school, so obviously it didn't fit "perfectly" anymore.
