Calling All Meanies

Let's just say (hypothetically, of course) that someone you know (let's call her dtp) was on a beach vacation (for example). While relaxing on the beach, a fellow vacationer awakens ms.dtp from her peaceful slumber to offer some officious parenting advice regarding dtp's eldest child. dtp nods politely, though the advice giver (let's call her Shamu) is way off base and it's none of her motherfucking business. dtp speaks to her eldest child and tells him not to play with Shamu's pups anymore, as Shamu appears to be mentally unbalanced.

So the dtp-offspring and dtp (and the help, natch) are enjoying some lunch, and Shamu won't let it drop. Shamu comes back (to the dtp LUNCH TABLE!) to offer further officious suggestions (and to clarify her prior advice). At this point, dtp has had enough and suggests that officious advice goes both ways. If Shamu wants to offer it, she should be able to hear it as well. dtp then proceeds to suggest that Shamu's daughter may want to lay off the cheeseburgers.

Shamu is shocked (SHOCKED!) that dtp would say such a thing, but doesn't mess with dtp the rest of the vacation.

So, my question for the expert meanies out there is, were such a thing to have occurred, would (the hypothetical) dtp's response have been (a) not mean enough, (b) too mean, or (c) just right?

Inquiring minds MUST know.
