A letter writer’s new co-worker asked if their kids have the same dad.
My children were born six years apart. I had a miscarriage in between their births, which is no one’s business.
You may not want to do that. A milder version would be to ask coldly, “Just what are you suggesting?”I was invited to a Halloween costume party, so I put together a costume and attended. When I arrived at the hosts’ home, they were both dressed in costumes, and it was clear they had spent a lot of time and money decorating and providing quite a spread of music, food and cocktails for their guests.
Dress codes are causing a lot of trouble these days. The ones you mention are clear and straightforward. Those who do not enjoy participating in costume parties or formal dinners should simply decline those invitations.
