I believe it’s time for a candid discussion about our family dynamics. Let’s face it: we have our quirks, and we sometimes overshare with those who aren’t familiar with our private matters. While we may be more typical than I sometimes think, it seems that others have instilled in their children an understanding of appropriate topics and language for various settings.
Just the other day, when we entered a restaurant and one of you exclaimed, “I want to hold the beeper!” as you grabbed the pager from my hand, it became evident that we need to address this issue. I hope you’re unaware of the connotation of that word, as you simply associate it with a fun sensation against your skin and wanted a turn. This incident suggests we should reconsider placing pagers under our clothing, considering their dubious hygiene.
Going forward, let’s try to modulate our volume in public spaces. It would be incredibly helpful if we could maintain a lower profile and refrain from discussing topics that could lead to misunderstandings. This could spare me the urge to hide in embarrassment.
I understand your excitement when I buy new toothbrushes, reminding you of the importance of dental hygiene. However, it’s crucial to wait patiently, especially when I need to step away for a moment. Rushing to the fountain with your new items is not acceptable — following instructions is always the best approach.
While I found your use of “Trump dump” amusing during your lengthy bathroom break, it’s important to recognize the boundaries regarding language. My laughter was not an endorsement for you to repeat it, particularly not in front of guests. Let’s keep some family matters private to ensure our social interactions remain pleasant.
There was also the time when you caught me in a vulnerable moment — a scenario involving a pregnancy test. Although I explained the situation, it’s best to avoid discussing such personal experiences in the future, especially in public.
When your father had a minor medical procedure, and you likened it to our puppy’s neutering, I appreciated your understanding. However, sharing those specifics with others led to some confusion. Please remember to verify with us before disclosing details about private matters.
While I appreciate your innovative communication methods, like hissing when upset, this should not extend to interactions with adults, particularly teachers.
As you grow older, it’s important to recognize the appropriateness of certain conversations. Let’s strive to maintain our family’s uniqueness behind closed doors. This might even lead to more invitations from others, which could be more enjoyable than embarrassing me in public. Plus, if I’m not stressed, I might save money on wine!
In conclusion, we can uphold our individuality while keeping some aspects of our lives private. It’s essential to create boundaries that foster a sense of comfort for everyone involved.

Summary:
In this letter, I addressed the importance of maintaining discretion about family matters, particularly in public settings. Emphasizing the need for appropriate language and behavior, I encouraged the children to understand boundaries as they mature. By establishing privacy in our family discussions, we can foster healthier interactions externally while preserving our unique quirks.
