Dear Abby

Snappy comebacks a no-no in dealing with tactless jokes

DEAR ABBY: My husband and I are the proud parents of a beautiful son, now nearly 3. As he began to grow and change, we were astonished that his hair color was totally different from ours. Although there are blonds further removed from our family line, my husband and I and everyone else on both sides have black hair. I am fed up with people who constantly make jokes like, “It must have been the mailman,” etc. Now, my husband is saying the same thing in the presence of other people, and I am burning! It’s as though he is apologizing for the fact that our son is a blond. Or maybe he wants to get his cheap comment in before someone else does. What can I say when these remarks are made? And what is our son going to think when he’s old enough to understand that people are accusing his mother of adultery? I need a snappy comeback. OUTRAGED DEAR OUTRAGED: Forget the snappy comeback. If you try too hard to defend yourself, people may think you protest too much. You can, and should, tell your husband that you are hurt, not amused, by his “jokes.” But as far as the others are concerned, don’t make an issue of it. When your son is old enough to “understand,” he will realize that these comments are not meant to be taken seriously. * * * DEAR ABBY: A young man wrote that he was devastated because he had been losing his hair since age 17. How I wish I could look him in the eye and tell him that he is nuttier than a Christmas fruitcake! The same thing happened to me. I looked back down my ancestral line and saw bald men like fence posts. Here and there could be found a post with moss growing on top (hair on

Peach cobbler old-fashioned summer favorite

By CECILY BROWNSTONE Associated Press Food Editor Want to take part in a new trend we’ve watched our neighbors establish this summer? Serve a fast-food main course and end with an old-fashioned dessert. For example, while Dad and the kids assemble a salad and grill franks or burgers on an outdoor grill, Mom whips up an old-time Peach Cobbler from scratch. If the ingredients needed for the Cobbler are on hand and ready for use, the going is easy. PEACH COBBLER 1 cup unbleached allpurpose flour 3 /4 cup sugar V-k teaspoons baking powder V 4 teaspoon salt 4 tablespoons butter 1 large egg V 4 cup milk 2‘/z pounds peaches 4 teaspoons cornstarch Vi teaspoon ground cinnamon

an occasional head), but those with hair performed not one whit better as fence posts than the “baldies.” Abby, please tell that young, “intelligent,” average-looking 22-year-old fellow to quit feeling sorry for himself. Instead, he should look in the mirror and keep telling himself that bald is beautiful. If he accepts himself as he is, others will accept him at his face value—not his skull value. Sign me ... AGE 82, BALI) AT 19 DEAR 82: Bravo for you, my friend. But unfortunately not all men have your inner strength and value system. * * * DEAR ABBY: I’m a divorced mother of two daughters, ages 12 and 14. The three of us have been living on child support, welfare and an occasional part-time job when I can get one. Believe me, we barely make ends meet. My 14-year-old daughter makes S4O a week baby-sitting, and we’ve had some heated arguments because I asked her for $5 a week toward her room and board. She’s threatened everything from running away, to quitting her baby-sitting job, to doing nothing until she’s old enough to live away from home, if I demand any of her wages. I feel like a villain for asking for a lousy $5 a week. Was I out of line to ask? And should I quit asking? HURTING DEAR HURTING: You were not out of line to ask, but in view of your daughter’s attitude, yov’d be wise to quit asking. If she should bite the hand that feeds her, you may be stuck for rabies shots. * * * DEAR ABBY: A cousin of mine was married 10 months ago. It was ner first marriage and his third. The

I have no way of returning it, since there was no identification either on the outside of the suitcase or inside among the contents. The suitcase obviously belonged to an elderly man of modest means and will be sorely missed. Abby, please remind your readers once more to enclose some identification inside their luggage in case it gets lost. MRS. C. McG. DEAR MRS. McG.: Thanks for a valuable reminder.
