"Jordan sent a novelty chocolate shaped like a vagina to Dexter along with a note that read, 'This is the only way you'll ever get to eat one of these.' Apparently, one of the fraternities at Jordan's college was selling the chocolates for a fundraiser, and he thought it would be funny."
"You're not responsible for your wife's feelings about Jordan, especially if you know she's overreacting. Let me ask you this-has she always been a little frosty towards Jordan? Is this one of those situations where he reminds her of a version of you that she does not want to remember?"
"I think it's safe to reason with her that, had roles been reversed here and Dexter was the clod with the Valentine's vagina joke, she would consider a lifetime banishment pretty harsh."
A father seeks advice after his adult son Jordan sent his 14-year-old half-brother Dexter a novelty chocolate shaped like a vagina as a college fraternity fundraiser joke. The younger son found it humorous, but the father's wife Sharlene is furious and has banned Jordan from their home. The father refuses to disown his son over what he considers a stupid prank, noting that Dexter is already familiar with sexual humor. The advice columnist suggests the wife may be overreacting and possibly harboring deeper resentment toward Jordan, recommending the father reason with his wife by pointing out that she would consider lifetime banishment excessive if their younger son had made the same joke.
