"Knock yourself out!"

In my dreams! I'll bite my tounge and remain in the good graces of the inlaws, but even my MIL took me aside and asked, "What's that all about?" The problem is the young *ahem* lady in question is in college and is therefore infallible. Her eating behaviors have everyone gravely concerned. She'll binge on junk food and then exercise for hours (yes, a form of bullemia). Whenever someone prepares a proper meal for her she turns up her nose and says, "Sorry, but none of that is on Weight Watchers." She is well toned and athletic so trying to caution her is pointless. Her body's youth is still able to compensate for her diet. On the other hand, nothing is compensating for her manners. ARGH!

That's ridiculous. I know if I'd ever tried something like that (not that I would, hamburgers are good!) my mom would have had a really good talk with me.

Oh, but you see that's when you turn on the Southern Charm. You smile a HUGH smile, take her by the arm, while leading her to the grill, and say, "Why honey, I didn't know you were on a special diet! Now since I'm not exactly sure how you want that done, why don't you just come on over here and Big ol will make a place on the grill, give you a special turner that you can use to cook YOUR burger, and I'm sure it will turn out just right!"
