Miss Manners: How many times is someone owed a ‘thank you’?
I’m writing this on the 22nd of the month. My birthday was the 9th. My auntie and mum had lunch on the 19th, and auntie gave my mum a birthday card to pass along to me .
My mum just called and said I should call my auntie on my lunch break to thank her for the gift, as she hadn’t heard from me and was upset. I informed her I am delivering a thank-you note in two days. My mum said I should do both, as she was very excited for me to receive the gift and was upset she hadn’t heard from me.
