Psychological weight loss

When I got home yesterday evening, my mother came up to me and asked, “Do you think I lost weight?” I looked at her and said, “I don’t think so. You look the same to me.”

Then she continued on, “I know! I eat the same thing, wear the same clothes, and I don’t do anything different. Or maybe because I don’t eat bread much?”

I said, “Ok?”

My dad said to my mom, “So, which of your friends told you that you lost weight?”

Mom said, “Well, this and that said so.”

I said, “Maybe because they keep gaining weight, they think everyone else has changed too compared to them!”

My mom said, “How so?”

I said, “Simple. When you are no longer a similar size to them, they think you lost weight. However, in reality, they are the ones that have been gaining weight, and you are the same as you have always been.”

Mom said, “Maybe you are right!”

I said, “Don’t you Arab women or older women have better things to talk about??”

Mom said, “What’s there to talk about?”

I said, “Better than gossiping about other people. I give you credit for that!”

Blah Blah, Culture, Funny, They said what?, Whatever!
