Lighthearted wedding invitation
rubs recipient the wrong way
DEAR ABBY: We
received a wedding invita
tion in the mail today from
my husband's nephew.
First of all, we are to
RSVP by tomorrow.
(WHAT?)
Here are our options in
responding:
Gladly attend
Regretfully decline
Resentfully attend
Enthusiastically decline
I'll surprise you
The invitation also asked
which song we'd like
"blasted over our awkward
small talk." Granted, there
is some animosity among
the groom’s father’s sib
lings, but I think this is
rude, sarcastic and inap
propriate. I have a sense of
humor but do not find this
funny. Am I off the mark?
— INSULTED GUEST IN
THE MIDWEST
DEAR GUEST:
Obviously, you and your
husband would have pre
ferred a more formal —
and possibly more timely
— invitation. Considering
the sorry state of family
relations on the groom’s
side, the wording may
have been an attempt at
humor. It may also have
been sincere. If you cannot
GLADLY attend, rather
than fume, send your
regrets.

DEAR ABBY: We don't
care much for the wife of
one of our new neighbors.
The husband is nice, but
his wife is overbearing. On
the occasions we get
together, she interrupts
conversations or takes over
the conversation whenever
she speaks. Occasionally,
we see each other around
the neighborhood, and it's
always a friendly meeting
since we can walk away
from them.
Once in a while one
neighbor will have a few of
the others over for a party,
but no one wants to invite
the new couple because of
DEAR ABBY
Jeanne Phillips
her. What do we say if
either one asks why they
aren't invited to some of
the parties we have? We
live close enough to each
other that they might see us
entertaining without them.
Please don't suggest we
invite them and suck it up
since we tried that and the
evening was not fun for
anyone. —STRUGGLING
FOR AN ANSWER
DEAR STRUGGLING:
Don't worry, I won't. No
one should ask a question
like that unless prepared
for the answer. If one of
them is so bold as to ask
why they weren't included,
I think you should tell the
person the truth.

DEAR ABBY: I'm a
boy in sixth grade.
Recently, my best friend
has been hitting me. I try
to get her to stop. I've
done everything I can
think of, but she keeps
doing it.
Today in math class, she
pinched me or something
— I can't remember — so
I did it back. Afterward
she beat on me with a
ruler. I could really use
some of your advice. —
TIRED OF IT
DEAR TIRED OF IT:
The person you call your
best friend isn't acting like
one. She may do it to get
attention because she has a
crush on you, or because
she's a bully. Tell her to
stop touching you because
you don't like it, but do
not retaliate by hitting her
back. If she persists, tell
your teacher what she has
been doing because it's
creating a distraction when
you need to be concentrat
ing in class.
