Dear Ann Landers, y boyfriend is a high-school senior. Butch is not the greatest student in the world but he's a terrific athlete and has a wonderful personality. My girl friends make fun of Butch because they say he talks like he was born in a foreign country. He was born right here in Buffalo. His parents were bom in Europe, and they speak their native language at home. Butch pronounces certain words wrong, but then nobody is perfect. He says "Babe Root" instead of "Babe Ruth," "dem" for "them," and "wacation" instead of "vacation." When he said "Walley Forge" in class everyone broke up. Should I correct Butch when he makes mistakes or would it be best to say nothing and hope that he catches on by himself?-Butch's Girl

Also, any additional thoughts you might have. Thanks!

Our Reader to Reader Question of the Week:
Dear Readers, , so I am not complaining. He likes to dress up in women’s clothes. I told him it was OK with me as long as he didn’t do it in my presence. Since the baby came I’ve been home a lot, and this has created a problem. Mel hasn’t been able to dress up, and it has made him irrita-ble and short-tempered. I asked him why he needs to do this, and he says he doesn’t know. Last night, I took the baby to my mother’s so Mel could dress up. When I came home, he was watching TV wearing a blond wig, a beautiful sequined gown, high heels and a feather boa. He looked better than a lot of women I know. He also does a fantastic job of applying makeup. I thank the Lord that our baby is too young to re-member his father in that get-up. Why would a man want to do this? He is definitely not a homosex-ual and is the most manly-looking guy I know. -Mel’s Wife, U.S.A.
