QUESTIONS FROM THE WILDERNESS:

  • How would you react if a friend invites you to stay for dinner, but then has you eat in the kitchen while she goes to the dining room to eat with her family separately?
  • Should I tell my friend that I won’t be attending a Zoom exercise class anymore because of an awkward email exchange with the instructor?
  • I’m a middle school teacher…what should I do when I run into former students in public?
  • How do we decline food from our overly generous neighbor?
  • What do you do when someone is singing "Happy Birthday" to you?
