Ask Mz. Cloverfield Q

Dear Mz Cloverfield,
Dear Worried-For-Her-Sisters,
I’m at my wits end! My younger sisters insist on openly attending rallies about “drone rights”, with no thought as to what the the neighbours might think. Now, I’m not sexist, and all I do is follow the will of the Holy Beekeper, and my sisters should have a right to do what they please, but do they have to be so blatant about it? Our household has a reputation to uphold! How can I be an effective forage-leader if my charges are constantly giggling about my sisters’ perversions? I don’t want to punish the girls, but something has to be done. Please help!
First, let me assuage your anxiety about being known as a sexist (because it’s clear you harbour such fears). A sexist is someone who inappropriately discriminates against drones, and it’s clear from your letter that all you do is follow the teachings of the Holy Beekeeper, which is entirely appropriate.
Thank You Worried-For-Her-Sisters
Now, getting to your problem. The first thing you should do is have a talk with your sisters. Explain to them how drones are biologically wired as inferior to us workers and that the concept of “drone rights” is absurd. If that still doesn’t work, explain how the social standing of your family depends on them being discrete. Tell them the parable of the Ostentatious Honeybee, and how the robin got her in the end. I hope you manage to show your sisters some sense! Best of Luck Mz Cloverfield
