Moreover, you may unknowingly violate some clause in your policy and find yourself paying more than your share of the bill. Time lost may prove expensive.

On our block, he had no children his own age but plenty of adults who were allergic to noise and uprooted flowers. The brutal job of policing his every waking moment was wearing me down-- and no reprieve in sight until kindergarten, 3 long years ahead.

"Those," I informed her, "are for the years we've been married." And I never heard her sing "Happy Birthday" any prettier.
