Page 12, The Herald, Wednesday, October 31, 1979 He’s Baby-Faced, she’s Infantile By Abigall Van Buren £ 9979 oy Chicaga Tribuna-N.¥. News Synd. Inc. DEAR ABBY: I am four and a half years older than my husband, He's small in stature and has a baby face that - makes him look years younger than he is. 1, on the other hand, look my age, even though | work very hard at keeping my figure, selecting becoming, non-matronly clothes, and do- ing everything I can to look youthful, Tn spite of all this, my husband hasn't aged a bit since we've been married {22 years), and many people have mistaken me for his mother. Recently, [ was asked if our college-age son and my husband were both my sans! So far, my husband hasn't overheard any of these remarks. We have good communication in other matters, but I haven't been able to bring myself to discuss this with him, or let him know how much it bothers me. Believe me, I'm doing all I can to look youthful, Now all I need is a sharp, snappy answer ready for people who hurt me in this way. Can you help me? I've noticed that you can really turn a neat phrase, Abby. I need to be prepared the next time something like this happens. NO SIG, PLEASE DEAR NO SIG: I don't recommend a “sharp, snappy | answer" for those who inadvertently hurt you by speaking their minds. Prepare yourself by adopting a more realistic attitude. Face it, you are married to a baby-faced man who doesn’t look his age, and could conceivably be mistaken for your son. Look at it thia way: You must have had something very special to have captured a “younger man," so count . your blessings and develop a tougher hide. (P.S. DO discuss it with him. When sensitive matters are brought out in the open, they lose their sting.) DEAR ABBY: My father is over 85 but still sharp as a tack mentally, still works every day and is very active. The problem is that Papa drives a car. He shouldn't, He has a license to drive, but he is a danger on the streets. His vision isn't very good (particularly at night) and ] am worried sick that he might kill himself or some innocent per- son. I've tried to tell him he shouldn't drive, but he isa very proud man, and stubborn, too. ; Any ideas on what to do about my problem? LOVES PAPA DEAR LOVES: If you love Papa as you say you do, you will quietly report him to the motor vehicle department. They act on such reports to re-test any licensed driver wha could be a hazard. : CONFIDENTIAL TO “NO NAME IN NEW ULM, MINN.”: Constantly checking up on your good-looking hus- band may not make him more faithful—but it will make him more careful, Getting married?
