From Good Question (3/3)
Dear Annie: We live across the street from a married couple — man and woman — who have a 16-month-old girl. Every time they get her out of the car, no matter what the weather is, they have nothing on her head. Even when the temperature was in the teens, and another time when it was pouring rain, there was nothing on her head.
I'm 60. I raised three daughters and always covered their heads with some kind of toboggan hat, hood or rain gear when appropriate.
The couple's defense, I'm sure, would be that they're just going from the car and up about 20 steps to the house, but still, I think it's ridiculous. I'm not sure if I should say something to them or not. Should I? — Neighbor
Dear Neighbor: Assuming that they have a jacket on the 16-month-old and the girl does not seem in distress, i.e., freezing or crying uncontrollably, it's probably better not to say anything. Perhaps you could buy her a really nice hat and bring it over as a neighborly present. Maybe they would get the hint.
