My friends from college, who are the godparents of our children, threw a graduation party for our daughter, who attended a well-regarded all-girls Catholic high school that draws students from all over the city and from various backgrounds. When she was introduced to my daughter’s friends my friend invariably asked ‘What are your plans?’ and followed up with something very complimentary. I wondered about this, because I knew they were all going to college, but then I decided that it was marvelous, pretty much exactly the right approach, much more sensitive, kind, and polite than asking what college they were going to attend.
