Advice from Judith Martin, Nicholas Ivor Martin and Jacobina Martin.
Each birth anniversary, there’s a well-meaning but hurtful practical joke. Everyone -- family, friends, teachers, co-workers, boyfriends -- thinks they’re the first person to play their joke and expects me to laugh. Because I love them, I try to play along, but it gets tougher each year.
My husband asks for a divorce and bosses fire me . I’ve bitten into birthday cakes flavored with hot sauce or baked with salt instead of sugar . I tried -- really I did -- but 26 years was too much. A few tears escaped, so I ran to my car and left. So when the box is empty, look up puzzled and ask, “Was there supposed to be something in here?” When your boss pretends to fire you, say sadly, “I loved this job, and I tried to do my best at it.” When you bite into the cake, make a slight face and decline having more without explanation.
