Dear Mr. Magee,

You were right - I am sorry I didn't try harder in math class. Instead of watching the clock or sneak-reading "Cat's Cradle" or taking that quiz about who's cuter, Josh Enright or Denny Safhay (unanimous answer: Denny Safhay) I wish I had paid closer attention. Then, when the little kid on the beach looked at Maisie and said, "Is her tongue, like, a million miles long?" I could have had a precise answer. As it is, we both settled for "Yes."
