Dear Queenie,
I always send generous checks to my nieces and nephews for their birthdays and Christmas, but they never bother to even let me know they received them, never mind sending me a “thank you” note.
Queenie, I’m getting so disgusted I’m thinking of not sending any more gifts!—Fed up uncle
Dear Uncle,
I have a better idea. Send the cheques as usual, but “forget” to sign them. You will hear from the recipients very quickly, I assure you!
