How will you be spending the extra day we have tomorrow besides avoiding another rent check? Eloping, so you’ll have four years to remember the next anniversary?

Why not treat it as a time out? Like the clock isn’t running, so whatever you say to your partner that might ordinarily rile them in the game of dating won’t later count against you, because it isn’t really official?

“That’s so like you.” Doesn’t count! “Give it a rest.” Doesn’t count! “You’re doing that again?” Doesn’t count! “No wonder you’re still single.” Doesn’t count!

“Take a flying leap!”

It’s leap year. That one counts.
