If she gets upset...you still have the back-up shirt.
You'd have to see her shirts now. I was doing laundry the other day and most of her T-shirts are so small they barely fit on the plastic hangers I use. My buddy's 3 year old wears T-shirts about the same size... So, I wouldn't even know where to get a smaller shirt...

I gotta be careful. Just had this argument the other night. When I tease her, she says I'm being "mean", but whenever she or her sisters tease me, "they're just having fun, nothing to get upset about".

I was recently dubbed Kong by sisters. Since I'm 6'2" and they're less than 5', and I'm "slightly" hairy, and Kong rhymes with both their husbands names... So, I almost fit in now...

If she gets upset about that.....I guarantee she'll get over it.
I wouldn't have a problem with her getting upset... That would make me laugh harder.

RJS already hit on the self esteem issue with her statement.
It's not about her getting upset, it's about making her feel like you think she is fat, so she quits eating and develops health problems. Then it's no longer funny. She might not even seem upset or bothered at the time...
That's to dangerous of territory to be playing games in.

Alrighty then...I agree with UC 100% now. A skinny chick that thinks she's fat needs to see a doctor.

I retract my statement......

When I go in my closet to put on a shirt and it no longer fits.... then I say that I out grew the shirt (synonym for "I don't fit the shirt anymore").
That's been happening ALOT the last few months. So I'll agree with her when it's used clothes.

I just plainly say I'm too fat for that shirt if the shirt doesn't fit, but I sure won't say that to my wife if the shirt fits her ot not! Kind of like russian roulette on that one.

This reminds me of my X-wife when every now and then she would ask:

”Honey, do you think I am fat?”

My reply would be:

”Well, that’s a stupid question to ask…”

You can tell them over and over they are not fat and they want to talk about it for hours. Mind you she wasn’t fat at all. Sometimes I really felt like saying ”YES, now shut up… or like that commercial ”You betcha…

You should have said, "No Baby, it's just the jeans you're wearing."




Guaranteed peace and quiet for a week.

for a long time when that question came up I was like... "Uh.....Uh......Doh.... I dont think so!"
Now.. in all my wisdom.. I look her straignht in the eye and say,
"Baby... you know it's all about "the Badonkadonk"! With your Badonkadonk... it makes everyone else want to honky tonk with your badonkadonk too. So why dont you put on a little weight so I don't have to be so jealous!"
