Prudie learns about birthday spankings this week! Plus, how smartphones ruined pushing your friends into pools. Then, your letters, with executive producer of Slate podcasts Steve Lickteig:*
- I was creeped out by an employee when I was an intern. Should I report him, even though I’ve since left the job?
- I’ve been out of the workforce for a while and I’m anxious about jumping back in.
- How do I let my friends and family know I’m upset they bailed on my big birthday?
- I just came out to my husband and kids. How do I leave my marriage without hurting them?
- My best friend’s been cheating on his wife for years, and it’s ruining all my memories with him.
