Dear Queenie,
One of the women in our club likes to entertain, like singing and dancing, when we have a fund-raising event. The problem is, she is rather plump and has no talent whatsoever.
We think she makes herself look foolish, but we don’t want to hurt her feelings.
Queenie, how should we handle this?—Member of the audience
Dear Audience member,
Your friend enjoys performing and should be able to judge by the reaction of the others in the audience how they like her performance. Say nothing, and try to enjoy (or endure) her performances along with the rest of the audience.
