• This tweet went viral this week. A ton of people praised the original poster for putting this mother in her place. 

  'I saw a lady saying "I'm skinnier than you" to her daughter at the grocery store, and I just blurted "no, you're not." Then her daughter gave me the biggest smile, while the lady just stared at me like d**d serious, after that I just turned around and left the store.'

• It's difficult to say whether this story is true or another social media exaggeration that tends to go viral on platforms like Twitter, Tumblr, and TikTok. Whether it's true or not, the sentiment hit many people hard. One poster said, “Her daughter will forever remember what you did for her on that day, that's beautiful, and I hope she grows to defend other girls as you did!”

• If you had a mother who compared her body to your body, how did you deal with it? Do you think that the original poster did the right thing, or that she was also engaging in body shaming of the mom?
