Know how you feel. You try not to say much cause you don't want to make others feel bad but when you get asked a blunt question it is hard to beat around the bush. I have done the same and then ugh seen the reaction and wanted to take back what I just said. But, on the other hand why can't we be honest esp if we are asked.
I had a mother ask me how my son did on his report card. 
So I hesitated thinking ok what do I say w/o sounding like a braggart. Had a long hesitation and then thought hmm now she will think he did bad cause I am pausing so I just said it
said he got all A+'s 
And then I felt the daggers  
So it's a no win situation.
