DEAR MISS MANNERS: My 8-year-old was invited to a party at a place that specializes in kids’ birthdays. As the children at this party are still quite young, each guest was accompanied by at least one parent or guardian.
This might have been forgivable earlier in the day, but the party was from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., which is dinnertime. Once the children had been fed, the mother of the birthday boy informed us that there were six or seven slices of pizza left if the parents were hungry. Thankfully, there was enough cake to go around.
Most rare and antiquarian bookstores today are open only by appointment. My experience is that the store owner will usually respond to a request to open the shop, but I am reluctant to ask.
