Once upon a time in their marriage, my Dad did something
really stupid. My Mom chewed him out for it. He apologized,
they made up.
However, from time to time, my mom mentions what he had
done. "Honey," my Dad finally said one day, "why do you
keep bringing that up? I thought your policy was 'forgive
and forget.'"
"It is," she said. "I just don't want you to forget that
I've forgiven and forgotten."
After the chills and fever of love, how nice is the 98.6º of marriage!
