My dear sweet cousin has attacked me on Facebook... What to do? What to do?
He's the same age if not a smidgen younger than me and we see him once a year or two at Thanksgivings.
Here is the conversation thus far...
My FB status yesterday: This Easter candy is great! I hope the kids aren't keeping track!
Sister #1: Those little malted milk balls are doing terrible things to my system, and I KEEP EATING THEM!!
Me: Oh is THAT what did it in for me yesterday??? I've moved on to chocolate eggs today...
Sister #2: The good news is that when they're gone, you can't eat them anymore!
Me: Come now Sister #2... How can that be GOOD news?...
Dear sweet cousin: The kids may not be keeping track but your hips are!!!
* Now a little back story - last week, his own son posted about how he hates it when his dad hijacks his posts with jokes that only Jon gets... *
so...
Me: Hey Cody! I'm right there with ya!
Dear sweet cousin: Now be nice...you're showing your age!!! Besides it wasn't a joke...it's the truth, SOOO Chew on that VAL!!!
Sister #1: Hey, dear sweet cousin, are you looking for another career? My weight watcher group is always looking for motivated leaders who have lost weight ;)
So here's the predicament...
1) Do I just leave it alone until his wife makes him understand that he just called me fat?
2) Take it, as Robb said, that it's a warning against eating too much candy?
3) Or let him know that I DO have a good sense of humor. As I am a jolly person...
#3 option is what I want to do... I want to post this on FB today and tag him on it.
Me: Hey Dear sweet cousin! You are so inspirational for people like myself! You remind me of Marjorie!
And then post this video. As you know I'm a BIG fan of British humor. HUGE. I love the accent as it is so NOT Iowan and they love to laugh at themselves... and others...
This is Marjorie, a group leader of Fat Fighters in Britain, being as inspirational as my dear sweet cousin...
What to do? What to do???

What a conundrum! As my SIL sent a snarky comment my way yesterday, the only thing I could think to post back was a smiley face. ☺ It acknowledged her post, but got me out of the conversation...because she will always one up and fire back better than I can volley words at her. Sigh. Sorry I have no good advice for you. Happy Wednesday, friend! ☺
As much I want to tell you #3. Just do #1 and remember he is an a##....
Remind your dear cousin that you are a black belt. If that doesn't work use him as a breaking board.
I'm always here to help you!
I don't have a facebook account. Maybe this is why? Ha! Since I don't know him I wouldn't want to tell you how to handle it.
Huh...well...I think that was an assy thing to say to you.
I always say something like "Yeah, I better eat it in pairs, don't want to get lop sided!" lol
