Tough Talk,
I had a wonderful dinner party last week. Everyone was there with much witty repartee for all. However, one of our guests found a spatula in our kitchen which she said was hers having brought it for a previous party. I sort of mocked her out, joking that I had copped her wonderful desert spatula, and came across as condescending. I don’t remember this at all, but after thinking about it, I think she’s right and we had asked her to bring it. Now I’m embarrassed for making her feel embarrassed. What do you think I should do TT?

Meadows,
Just be up front and admit you screwed up and give her back her stupid fork. She’ll get over it. As for mocking her out, even assuming she was wrong, was a grade A cheesedick maneuver. You need to pull the bug up from out of your ass.
