It’s ludicrous that they ask where my son’s mother is.
DEAR MISS MANNERS:
I was raised in a world of social graces where you did not ask point-blank questions, except among family or very close friends. This has changed, which mostly doesn’t bother me; people are curious by nature.When I am asked this, I am not “dressed up.” I do my hair, do my makeup and wear business casual attire throughout the week.
Currently I am taking business classes, and I also drive a school bus for our district. I am on a high school route, and I feel image is very important. Also, I live in a southern climate, so dresses just make sense, but this has led to embarrassing moments of being asked if I wear dresses and skirts for religious purposes.I can’t get over how rude this is.
“No,” Miss Manners suggests you explain, “these are everyday clothes. I don’t wear my gym clothes to work.”When you invite someone to lunch, on you, isn’t it rude if they ask to bring someone else?Not if you respond, “Not this time — I was looking forward to a lunch with just the two of us.”
