[Johny Joe Hold]

I don't understand why people bother Aunt Annie with their personal problems. On the other hand, why do they listen to her advice?

Dean Aunt Annie: I'm a mom with two little kids and a husband. For some years another couple has been our closest friends. Their kids are the same age. We see them at church, dinners at our homes, exchange baby sitting and have had many good times together. Then one day I told her I'm voting for President Trump. It's been ice cold ever since. Won't pick up the phone, no play dates, nothing. What should I do? Perplexed

Dear Perplexed--What a sweet person you are. I'm so glad you wrote me. You can give her a lesson. Go after her husband. Flirt with him, phone calls, notes, the whole nine yards. She will be even madder, but your life will be more exciting. Aunt Annie
