The FOUR Fantastic
Be playfully mean
Say something that could be mean, but in a playful way. For
example, if she says she doesn't like Tic Tacs because they don't
work, you tell her, "Of course they don't work for you. I mean, I
don't know exactly how to say this, but, you know you have a big,
huge problem with bad breath, right? I mean, you know that,
right?". Deliver with just a hint of a smile, and she'll get the
joke.
