Annie,
The woman's comment was quite strange. I think you said you walked away, but did either you or your husband see the look on her face? Or hear a certain tone of voice? I mean, I'm assuming it wasn't said in any "good" way as it hurt you. I'm just trying to think ouside the box for an explanation. Even with my ADD, some social anxiety and general weirdness at events like that (HATE them!) I don't think I've said something like that. But if I did, maybe I'd be trying to compliment the couple, like that they fit perfectly together just like the food item, with dumpling haveing NO reference to weight or size at all, but it comes out all wrong, with a double meaning, and I'm either oblivious or horrified I've insulted someone.
That's why I wonder about tone and attitude while she was saying it. But...
Oh heck, I don't want to defend her. Just identifyig a little with blurting out weird humor others don't get. But as gg said, really, she's a wench. An apology was in order, no matter how or why she came to make the comment. Hope you can write it off as the completely inconsequential and meaningless non-event it was! some people....really!!
