Back handed compliments

Whilst collecting my daughter from school, another young mum looked at her, then looked at me, then said with a puzzled frown,
"So that's your daughter...but she's so pretty!" ?

A friend of mine, a New Yorker, was once told that she was surprisingly well educated for an American

My great aunt said - you look just like your mum did at your age though not so pretty!!

My friend was sitting in front of her bedroom mirror, removing her make up, whilst her husband lay in bed, watching.
All was quiet, until he piped up with "never mind, Jan, when I win the lottery you can have a facelift."

When engaged to my now ex-husband, he once said to me 'In the dark you're not bad'!

Again, when working with the elderly, as a long shift was coming to an end, I went in to help a lady get ready for bed
"You look worn out!" She said
I told her I was, and she asked if I had a nice husband at home to look after me
I told her I hadn't, and joked that I couldn't find anyone to have me.
"What a shame' she said.. "Mind you, you have really let yourself go lately!"

Ha! Made me laugh!

A passer by once told me that I kept my garden very neat for someone my age!!
