I've dealt with this properly right?

Finished work and went to pick DC up as normal. Popped to the shop on the way home to get some yogurts for DC.
DD (4 in 3 weeks) turns round and says to me "mummy why is she so fat" -(was mortified!)
I responded with some people are fat some people are thin some are tall some are small. Do you like it when people call you small? DD said no so I said you shouldn't call people fat as it may upset them the same as you get upset.

Please tell me I dealt with this correctly! I had no idea what to do/say. It was so out of the blue!

You handled it well. Children your daughter's age simply speak the truth with no malice involved, and sometimes ask awkward questions. It won't be the last time!
