The neglected virtue of silence!

Silencio 234x300 The neglected virtue of silence!
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!
 Mrs. Figgins
