Dear Ann Landers,
hat do you think of a 30-year-old father who, on his son's second birthday, pushes his son's face into the birth- I I 2 / ANN LAN I) EI1S day cake while 20 people are watching? Then, with a big grin, the father proceeds to videotape his child's stunned response and the tears that follow. For several weeks, the little boy knew that his birthday was coming. He kept repeating words like "birthday" and "two," while holding up two little fingers. He had looked forward to the party with such joy, and to have it end like that was heartbreaking. I was so upset that I left without saying goodbye. I am the child's grandmother. What would you have done? -Milwaukee Journal Reader

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:


Dear Readers,
, Michigan. I came to Detroit, got a job as a secretary, and fell in love with a prominent executive in the auto industry. Greg was evasive about where he lived, but I never pushed it. Yesterday he telephoned to say he had the flu and couldn’t keep our date. I decided to surprise him with a honey and lemon syrup my grandmother used to make. I got his address from the office manager. Greg was sick all right, and when he opened the door and saw me, he got a whole lot sicker. The first thing I noticed was a satin housecoat and some ostrich feather bedroom slippers. He said, “I know what you’re thinking and you’re wrong. That stuff belongs to a sweet kid from Sheboygan who is out of work and needed a place to stay. She’ll be out of here tomorrow.” I called him a liar and left. When I got home the phone was ringing. He begged me to believe him. Would you?-Egg On My Face
