Dear Amanda: My husband, Ben is in prison and we're not sure when he'll be out. We have a great child together, Danny, age 11. We are allowed to visit him six times a month and can talk with him on the phone up to four times a week. Despite his incarceration, he is as involved as he can be in our lives.
I have a problem when meeting new people who ask where my husband is. We live in a small town and I don’t want word getting out. Plus, I don't think it is something our children's friends should know because they might taunt them. So, short of telling each person the whole story, what reply can I come up with when asked the whereabouts of my husband? -- NEEDS AN ANSWER IN THORNTON
Dear Needs: Now is a great time to make something up. Your nosey neighbors won’t think twice to ask again when you tell them your hubby is training alligators for CIA spy work in the Florida keys, or that he’s a traveling dog poop scooper guy. If they get a little too nosey just tell them he died in a cracker factory accident.

cracker factory accident? Awesome! I've always pondered "death by Zestas"!
