Dear Cousin Butchie,

I'll make this fast and to the point.  Tomorrow is Mother's Day, and I have been waiting for years to come out to my mom. (I am 17). My dad desserted us both when I was eight years old. I don't want to hurt my mom, but I think I have waited long enough to tell her. I also figure she'll be drinking tomorrow so I can tell her when she's buzzed.

Dear MJ,

Okay, I'll make my answer short and to the point as well.

This question comes up at every holiday, and the answer is always the same. NO!

Find a quiet ordinary day to tell her.  But, you know, maybe the alcohol buzz isn't a bad idea ON A DIFFERENT DAY!

You don't want to forever be compared to the grinch that stole Christmas!
