IT REALLY isn't nice to interrupt people when they're talking."The suggestion to my son was firm and loving. Instructions for life. The only problem was, this time it wasn't my suggestion."Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be impolite," he responded with a sheepish grin.Peering over the edge of my newspaper, I continued to observe the exchange between my son and his girlfriend."By the way, have you completed your applications to college yet?
