Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
Last night, my wife and I participated in a trivia night event at a local establishment. It was our first time there, and neither of us cared about winning the competition. We were really there to support the host, our daughter’s boyfriend.
When I returned to our table about five minutes later, my wife -- usually a rational and levelheaded person -- was uncharacteristically angry. She called my behavior rude and said I should not have taken the call, but rather let it go to voicemail. Miss Manners believes that in this case, your phone call was far more trivial than the trivia. She suggests you apologize to your wife.Being a brunette, I started getting gray hair in my early 20s, and it became noticeable in my mid-20s. I dyed my hair from about ages 26 to 32 to hide it but decided to stop, due to cost and it being generally not healthy.I’m now heading toward my late 30s and am probably one-third gray. I receive so many comments from so many people about my gray hair.
