Promises

We have a deal going. Every time I take out my contacts, Mikey has to wear his retainer and whiten his teeth. He said he's worried about the "forest of veins growing over my eyeballs."

So I struck a deal.

Tonight is the first night of it. My contacts are out and everything is fuzzy. I was afraid Mikey was going to fall asleep before keeping his end of the bargain. I asked if he was awake and he quoted Robert Frost, "I know, I know . . . 'I have promises to keep/ And miles to go before I sleep.'"

That's just the kind of man I married. A poem quoter.

So proud.
