“My question is, out of courtesy, should she have brought me some cookies when they were done? She didn’t, and it kind of ticked me off...”

What? Is this an advice column now, too? LOL! :)

“Dear Abby, dear Abby
My fountain pen leaks
My wife hollers at me and my kids are all freaks
Every side I get up on is the wrong side of bed
If it weren’t so expensive I’d wish I were dead

Signed, Unhappy

Unhappy, unhappy
You have no complaint
You are what your are and you ain’t what you ain’t
So listen up buster, and listen up good
Stop wishing for bad luck and knocking on wood”

(’Dear Abby’ by John Prine)

Maybe she was raised in foster care? People don’t have the manners that they used to. Maybe she isn’t good at making new friends and doesn’t know how? Maybe she hasn’t met anyone in her ‘new’ town? Take them some tomatoes later this season. Go out of your way to be helpful. Can’t hurt, might help...you get some cookies! ;)

Signed,

Dear Abby
