DEAR MISS MANNERS: My mother was emotionally, physically and mentally abusive. Plus, she knew about sexual abuse in the home as my siblings and I were growing up, and allowed it to continue.
All the remaining siblings attended the funeral. We sat front and center. As people unrelated to the family began to eulogize her profusely, my sister started giggling ever so slightly. As the eulogies became more absurd, we all started laughing out loud . GENTLE READER: It will no doubt be a comfort to you that it sounds like your mother would have approved of your behavior.DEAR MISS MANNERS: I have a close friend who lives nearby, and over the past several years, she has asked me to water her 25+ house plants when she and her husband travel.
GENTLE READER: Say that, unfortunately, you will not be available at that time, and would hate to have her return to dead plants.
