Spaypets,
Thanks. Believe it or not, I had two other guests at my home over Thanksgiving last year who witnessed her behavior. One was a college student staying in our home (from ARgentina) and another was a young man (former exchange student in our home), from France. I also told her in a lenghty letter that I expect, at minimum, the same politeness one would extend to strangers.
But, maybe the next time I have my parents in my home I include others in front of whom my mother would have difficulty being rude--I like the pastor idea
