Memo from Mama

The second in a multi-part series wherein I dispense the knowledge, advice and (more often than not), complete nonsense handed down to me from my mother and other assorted old ladies I have known.


Don't be one of these women that make their guests take their shoes off before entering your home. It's just ridiculous. I don't care if your carpet is white and brand new. It's rude. Get a good vacuum cleaner and use it when your guests leave. Hospitality is about making people feel comfortable in your home. It is not making them feel as if they are barely good enough to enter it.

I'm serious about this. Do not embarrass me.

Love,
Mama
