On party introductions:
When introducing people, try to avoid saying something that could be embarrassing like: "This is Barbara, she can't have children," or "Matt's on mood stabilizers," or "Lenny just got fired. He was the promotions manager at Nowells."
What Amy did when a rich uncle unexpectedly dropped in for a visit:
After he fell asleep, I sprinkled a trail of glitter from the window to his bed so when he awoke he could imagine a fairy had come to visit him while he was sleeping. I also gathered some bricks and stones from the basement that I could heat in the oven and place around his pillow to keep his head warm.
Something we could all learn from. Thanks, Amy.When an unexpected guest doesn't know when to leave, and he happens to be gay:
You can always lie. Make up a story, such as: "Don't mind me. The doctors said the best thing for my yeast infection was to expose my vagina to the air."
OR
"Oh, I'm so glad you're here. You can help me pick out the best photos of my vagina from these contact sheets."
OR
"You can't stay. It's March Madness."
Thanks, Amy.When having a party:
Have something ready in your apron pocket to talk about. My line is, "Yes, paella is very traditional to the Spaniards." Or "Wasn't that British territory?" If you see a shy person, ask them some questions like, "Why are you so shy? Tell everyone, we're all listening."
