Ladies, would you take this as a compliment or an insult?

I am wearing a new dress today. It is a 60's style shift dress, above the knee and I'm wearing it with opaque tights. Just before she went out I asked my daughter if she thought my dress was too short for me. She looked me up and down and then said "You have the legs of a 12 year old girl." I can't work out if this is a compliment or an insult, as she is a typically scathing teenager.

[emmie]

do you have scabby knees, and rolled down socks.

[mrs_overall]

lol no!

[daffy654]

In my opinion 12 year old girls have quite shapeless legs with chubby knees. I have no idea if your daughter is of the same opinion though ;)

[emmie]

then it's probably a back handed compliment. xx

[Anngel123]

You don't say how old your daughter is....I would certainly love to have the legs I had at twelve!!

[shooty]

knobbly knees ?

[Psybbo]

Definitely a compliment, think what she could have said!

[emmie]

i wouldn't, mine looked like toothpicks.

[China Doll]

I think so.....

[Caribeing]

Better than legs eleven! take it as a compliment probably jealous that you have such good legs.

My daughter is 17 next month.
I'm sure she will turn back into a human being one day

[Psybbo]

Maybe, when she's 30 (from experience)

[emmie]

don't bank on it.. x

Wish I had 12 year old legs. But I'm not sure mrs-o. MrAsk has legs like Ghandi now he's got older.

[Manjo]

At least she gave you a answer and not a grunt

[emmie]

Kevin and Perry have a lot to answer for.

[seadogg]

Thing is to have the energy of a 12 year old!

[Psybbo]

I'd give my left arm to have the legs of a 12 year old!

You wouldn't be able to put your tights on then, sibton.
