I understand now that a lot of people don’t like to be asked, but it came as a surprise to me when I first found that out. So now, even though I am only curious, I tend to keep my mouth shut. My husband, on the other hand, will always ask and thinks people are silly to be offended. My view is, if people are offended, they are offended, even if it doesn’t make sense to me, and I have no wish to offend anyone.
