Wrong, wrong, wrong – with a cherry on top

Once again, the Sisters have serious concerns about the Dear Abby column.

Specifically, Dear Abby herself.  We constantly find ourselves questioning her advice.  Today turned out to be her worst answer ever.  A lovely lady wrote in about her fabulous habit of eating her dessert first and then her entrée in restaurants while with co-workers.  She felt that even after explaining why she does this there was tension from the group.  She asked Abby if she thought she was being rude.

Abby promptly told her that “Yes” she was being rude.

“How so?” we say.  She’s not asking anyone else to do it with her.  Abby also passively aggressively scalds her for bad eating habits.

Perhaps we are social misfits but isn’t it the other way around?  Isn’t it rude to point out other people’s strange habits?  And why do they care in what order she eats her meal?  We found the whole thing ridiculous and want “Sweet Tooth In Colorado” to know that she is most welcome to dine with us anytime she is in town.  We’d love to meet her and to make her feel comfortable – we’re going to eat our dessert first right along with her!

So there Dear Abby – it’s going to be a revolution.  Let them eat cake!
