Mom struggles keeping the sweets in check
This doesn't mean that you can't spend time with -- or even grow to love her. It does mean that she will occasionally offend you. And each time she does, you should speak your own truth.
Dear Amy: Love your column. You recently answered a question from a lovelorn guy ("Freaking Out" about how to get his girl back.
In your answer, you suggested standing beneath her window, blasting Aerosmith on a boombox.
I loved your "Say Anything" reference, but in the movie, it was Peter Gabriel.
-- Cusack Fan
Dear Fan: I was definitely referencing "Say Anything." I went rogue with my music selection.
