Why watch videos where nothing happens?

By Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

Aunt Betty might have come into your life to teach you a little lesson about looking beyond the gift and (really) seeing the giver.

However, when I shared this question with some family members, they branded "Aunt Betty" a hostile, down-sizing, re-gifting trickster.

You get to decide how to interpret this behavior.

Dear Amy: "Want to Intervene" had a desire to confront (overweight) parents about their (increasingly) overweight kids.

Your "mind your own business" philosophy is why there are so many fatties running around.

 

-- Annoyed

Dear Annoyed: I'd welcome hearing from people concerning whether shaming other people's children has ever worked. I'll run responses in future columns.
