So, you've got some well-meaning friend who keeps giving you backhanded compliments, saying things like "You'd make a great mom" or "You're really growing on me." It's time to deflect those suckers with finesse.

"Oh, you're really growing on me, huh? Well, I'm really growing on you too, buddy. I mean, who doesn't love a good garden gnome collection?"
