Dear Queenie,
While my sister was visiting I went to get something out of my purse and she kept saying she liked it so much she thought she would steal it. Then when she was leaving she gave me $10 (I had said I bought the purse at a charity sale for less than that) and dumped out my purse and took it with her. I didn’t know what to say.
Queenie, I really liked that purse. Is there any way I can get it back?—Offended
Dear Offended,
The next time you visit your sister, tell her how much you liked that purse, give her her money back and ask her for the purse – and hope she complies, but do not count on it.
