Just Ask Georgia: 12/4/2024

GEORGIA, I have a question,

At Thanksgiving dinner at my inlaws this weekend, my mother-in-law handed me several napkins in the middle of the meal.

I became very self-conscious, thinking I must be making a mess. I checked my mirror, and everything was fine as far as I could tell, but I still felt embarrassed.

Sometimes, I need extra napkins, but I prefer to ask for them myself. On the other hand, I appreciate my mother-in-law's kindness, so I wouldn’t want to discourage her from being alert and helpful.

What’s your take?

NOT MESSY MESSY EATER

Dear NOT MESSY,

That you embarrass much too easily.

With love, GEORGIA
