Plus: Should I have been more assertive in asking for cake?
I have an aunt and uncle who come by often, typically unannounced, and who have strong opinions about, well, everything — including how I’m training my dog, even though neither of them has ever had a dog.
If I know they’re coming, I put the dog in the backyard, but they often just show up, let themselves in and say “knock, knock!” Etiquette is concerned with when, whether and how those opinions are expressed. In the no-treat-for-you column, Miss Manners would have to include letting your dog jump on your relatives and requiring guests to assist in the dog’s training.
I wanted a second slice, but our hosts never offered us seconds. At one point, I made a joke about how we should have more cake, but no one took it seriously and asked us if we wanted more. If they had, I would have said yes.
