DEAR MISS MANNERS: My 10-year-old grandson decided to have his stuffed animals -- a raccoon, a monkey, a bunny rabbit and an octopus -- "spy" on me. They are put in places where they can "watch" me. (I should add that the animals do not have any embedded cameras or recording equipment.)
My wife of 40 years goes along with this. I put the animals away, but she brings them back, maybe even hiding them better.
I have never seen this issue addressed before. How do I get my grandson and wife to stop having these animals spy on me? I am 67 years old, a retired attorney and a minister. I do not need watching!
GENTLE READER: The monkey says otherwise.
