I have an old friend whose husband doesn’t speak to people when they are visiting. As bad as doesn’t say hello. He has a very high profile job and knows how to talk. It’s just his modus operandi. No engagement. Longer I live more perplexed I am about some people. I understand about social anxiety but I don’t think it is that as they speak to other people. Just not visitors. Weird. I have my own share of weird family things.

Maybe we should all put together a book of short stories about bizarre family interactions. It would be a best seller.
