Sometimes, what those grandparents/relatives/elderly people say is so silly that it makes you think "what would *they* know???"
I've just been told off at one point by my aunt lately (who is now legally an "elderly person" here) for "ordering too much food" at a restaurant. She was complaining that we'll never finish the food, that she's already full, the food's too filling (think carbohydrates like noodles and rice), etc etc etc...But my rebuke was that there are others who need to eat, we've got big men to finish off, there are other people who are hungry and that if there's too much in the end, we could always take things home.
In the end, we *did* finish everything that I've ordered. Her machine gun wit turned into mush.
