Dear Queenie,
A friend of mine just told me she is pregnant. I didn’t even know she was seeing anyone.
Queenie, how can I find out who the father is without being rude?—Terribly curious
Dear Curious,
You can just wait for her to tell you.
Or, the next time she says anything about her pregnancy you can ask.
Or, you can wait until the baby is born and see whether the father shows up – and if he does not, then ask about him.
