When we first got married my bride took around the South to meet relatives who didn't make the wedding for whatever reason. One was an elderly aunt who was a fairly well known author, I was warned that she was a bit on the outspoken side.
There was a family gathering when we got there and my wife paraded me up to meet Aunt Sue, she was sitting on the porch, she held out her hand and looked me up and down then said "you look like a fine young man". Then to my wife she said "well I can see why you married him, look at the size of those feet". I wear size 14.
Everyone thought that was funny, I don't think I have blushed as red ever in my whole life.
