Dear Queenie,
When my mother took me and my girlfriend out to dinner, the two of us got kind of affectionate while we were waiting to be served and my mother got upset because she thought we were behaving badly in public.
Queenie, did we really do something wrong?—Etty Ket
Dear Etty Ket,
That depends on just how “affectionately” you were behaving. If your mother was embarrassed, yes, you went too far.
