Dear Queenie,
Some time ago a friend of mine was given an award by a local service organization. Since then the friend loves to brag about the award and show everyone photos of it.
Queenie, is there any polite way to tell my friend to shut up about it?—Heard enough
Dear Heard enough,
When your friend starts boasting, just smile and say (as sweetly as you can manage), “Yes, yes, we know all about it,” and change the subject, or walk away if necessary.
