Things I wish I had

“Button your lip” was something adults used to say to kids when I was young. At the time, it was an unwelcome instruction. Recently, though, I was thinking about how convenient it would be to have an actual button—or zipper—to fasten your mouth shut. It would keep you from snoring when you wanted to sleep on your back. Nice also would be a button for your partner’s mouth to keep him from snoring too.
