Tough Talk: September 18, 2024

Tough Talk,

I recently sent a card and cash gift to my friend’s daughter for her high school graduation.  I know things are different today, but I didn’t receive a thank you card as she has done in the past and her Mother says she is always on her phone now.  Is it too much to expect a simple thank you? (Capen, Alabama)

Capen,

No it is not.  You immediately send her a snotty note, either by text or mail,  “Thank you for your thank you card.  So nice to hear from my favorite snot-nosed stuck-up princess.”   Her Mother will thank you for it. ###
