One morning, I received an e-mail from a reader who began explaining that her 81-one-year-old mother was a devoted reader of this column and my books.

Her mother, she explained, felt obligated to follow all my advice. "She has been burdened with the obligation to wear matching underwear as you indicated that all women should," her daughter explained. "This week, she bought two three-pair packs of Vanity Fair underwear. When she got home, she said they slipped an aqua in that she didn't notice. She was very perturbed, because she's not sure how she is going to find an aqua colored bra, especially since she prefers Playtex 18-hour bras."
