Must you be so honest?

Sometimes I wish the Chinese weren't so honest.

While hosting a couple of guests tonight for dinner, a laowei said to me, "You look like you're seventeen."

Before I had a chance to feel good about myself, a Chinese lady blurted, "Yeah but look at her hands. She's not that young."

::sigh::
