MISS COOKIE COMES TO DINNER
I'm not trying to stay on Empire this week, but I had to stop a minute and throw three HUGE etiquette flags on Miss "Cookie" as she was invited to dinner and commenced to disrespect her former husband, Lucius's new wife and talked so much trash I thought it was trash day. Etiquette flag one came even before dinner happened. When you are the host and hostess, you are to sit at both ends of the table. When Lucius' wife went to sit in her place, to her surprise Cookie had claimed her spot. Cookie deserves a flag for taking the hostesses seat and refusing to get up. Though all intentional, it drove home the point of where one is supposed to sit when you are a dinner guest. After staring daggers in her body, the hostess graciously took her seat next to her husband just to keep the peace. The second flag came shortly after dinner when Lucius was taking his medicine. She barged in and asked him what he was taking. One is to never ask another person about their medication. Unless they share the information voluntarily, it is rude to inquire about what they are taking. In Lucius case, he is battling MS and breaking down quickly, I suppose the medicine is to deal with the symptoms he is beginning to experience. Cookie you did the fool this evening. You officially are one of the worst dinner guest landing a third flag when cursing while blessing the food for dinner. You're batting three for three. Taking the Lord's name in vain and airing dirty laundry in front of the family seems to be the staple of any red-blooded family filled with murderers, drug dealers, narcissist and the like, but I still would be remiss if I didn't point out the foolishness performed during prayer deserved a big etiquette flag. I know I probably shouldn't feel this, but I think I'm excited about next week's Cookie's etiquette bonanza. I know she will at least get me one good post. Keep it Urban Classy - Lady T
