What’s the best (or rather ,worst ) backhanded compliment you ever received? If you can’t think of any—when’s the last time someone paid you a compliment you actually didn’t deserve?
When I first came to Montreal, my husband invited his friends to dinner. My husband was unaware of my cooking skills, he therefore cooked everything himself.
His friends enjoyed the food, before they left, they said, “thank you for the excellent food, you are such a good cook.”
I felt very uncomfortable I knew I did not cook anything, I replied, “thank you, but my husband cooked everything!”
