- Silence is golden.
Dear Mrs. Figgins
My son’s girlfriend invited us for dinner to meet her parents.
Upon meeting, the husband said “we’ve heard so much about you”. When I pressed him about what he meant, he was rendered speechless.
It has bothered me non-stop and I’ve let it be known that I’m not happy about it.
Don’t you think that was horribly rude?
Potentially unhappy in-law
Dear Potentially:
I think in this case “speechless” was “smart”.
Oh, the neglected virtue of silence!
