Is there a certain age that you just stop listening to reason and say whatever you want? Kids under 7 and seniors over 70 are exempt.
You are right. I just don't see anything good coming out of telling somebody they (or their dog, baby, etc) are fat. It's dangerous territory, and does more harm than good. Etiquette usually prevents us from saying everything we think

Ok, if I sound defensive, it's cause Meika has put on a few pounds, and I see it, but I sure hope nobody else feels a need to tell me. I already feel bad enough, and have to help her take it off. She must be eating the food Tiki turns up her nose at, cause Tiki is too thin, and well Meika is *not*
