DEAR ABBY: We were visiting our son and daughter-in-law last weekend. When I had to use the facilities downstairs, I told her the hand towel was missing. I had used that bathroom the day before. Guess what she said? "Well, that's what pants are for."
Abby, she wasn't joking! We see them only twice a year because we live five hours away. Could they be short of money or what? Should I send her some hand towels? -- WET HANDS IN WISCONSIN
DEAR WET HANDS: By all means. And don't forget a short, sweet note thanking her for her "hospitality."
