DEAR ABBY: The other day a friend's wife, "Mimi," commented that she needed a new wardrobe because of her recent breast augmentation. I was taken aback because I didn't realize she'd had the procedure.
Mimi then began unbuttoning her sweater, saying, "See? Whatcha think?" She was wearing a T-shirt underneath, but I wasn't comfortable being asked to comment on her breasts. Somehow, "Nice rack, Mimi!" didn't seem appropriate. And with her husband standing a few feet away, I wasn't sure I should be looking at all.
What kind of response would have been appropriate, Abby? Should I have complimented both husband and wife, or directed my comments just to her? Sign me ... STUMPED BY THE SILICONE REVOLUTION
DEAR STUMPED: A safe reply would have been, "Your husband is a lucky man."
