Princess Kate has me flummoxed – why didn’t she curtsy?

The press is reporting there was a very good reason Princess Kate refrained from a curtsy to King Charles at the Commonwealth Day Service.

Thank goodness there is a good reason. I was thinking about it all day. Why didn’t she curtsy? What’s going on with her? I tumbled it around inside my head like clothes in a dryer.

At the bank I thought about it. At the dry cleaners. Why didn’t she curtsy? It is such an easy thing. Where are the manners with these kids?

I couldn’t concentrate on “Yellowstone” or old “Friends” episodes. I’ll bet Jennifer Aniston would curtsy.

I still don’t get it. The papers said there was a very good reason. I didn’t read any of that because it is too traumatic for me. I can’t sleep very well. The dog seems to know something is wrong because he keeps pawing my arm. He wants me to know everything is going to be okay.

Or maybe I forgot to feed him.
