Recovering mom doesn't want dog at home
Dear Wondering: It is not rude to ask if you can join someone -- certainly at church, where this fellowship is part of the worship experience.
My instinct is that this couple was in the middle of a private conversation or having a tiff when you approached. They didn't handle this graciously, but I hope you will forgive them.
Dear Amy: Wow -- thank you for your response to "Concerned Parent," who wondered about his kid's Michael Jackson obsession.
Regardless of Jackson's legacy, I LOVED that you recommended other artists for this child to learn about (especially Janet Jackson).
-- A Fan
Dear Fan: I hope this parent continues to encourage and foster the child's interest in music and dance.
