Good Manners
Make Friends
If your son asks you to help him
choose a Christmas gift for a girl,
there’s just one important thing to
remember. Suggest only imperson-
al gifts, something her parents
couldn’t possibly object to her re-
ceiving from a young man.
In other words, steer him away
from the lingerie department, if
necessary.
