Do you think the friend was lying?

Marie (who is skinny) works in a customer service capacity. Yvette (a customer) was sitting on a chair and Marie went over to see what Yvette needed. Yvette was sitting and Marie was standing. Yvette was wearing glasses.

Yvette: “Marie did you gain weight” Marie was stunned and upset. Yvette: “Oh wait a minute I am wearing my old glasses. These glasses are my old prescription and they magnify everything and they distort everything” Marie: “Take them off and see if you see any different.” (Yvette took the glasses off and looked at Marie again) Yvette: “I meant to wear my new prescription. The ones I have on are magnified and they make everything look big. I was wondering why all the buildings and everything I saw looked bigger.” Marie: “Oh - how do I look now that you are not wearing your glasses” Yvette: “NO you didn’t gain weight and I can see that you are still skinny, small”

Later that night Marie told a friend the story. The friend said “(1) The only reason that Yvette thought you gained weight is because she was wearing her old prescription and they magnified everything (2) yes you can accept she does not think you gained weight and (3) she thinks you are skinny”

My question: Do you agree with the friend - give details?
