Miss Manners’ Belly
Dear Miss Manners:
Recently I visited some close friends. My friend’s wife–being a generous and good host–put out a candy dish brimming with Jelly Bellys. Sweet!
Only…there was no legend!
What if I took a blind handful and ended up with Pear? Popcorn is a bastard no one will claim.
I instantly demanded she put out a legend: she refused.
We got into an argument over a host’s Jelly Belly’s responsibilities:
I say a good host always puts out the legend with Jelly Belly’s, she disagrees and says I should grow up.
Who is right?
