Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

he is asking the Tooth Fairy for a 3DS. Nice try, but no.

Ha ha ha! That's amazing.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

He's getting 3 dollar coins and a letter from the tooth fairy explaining that a 3DS is out of her price range.

(I'd consider it as a birthday present if the games weren't so expensive - $30 used on Craigslist!! Maybe he can sell me his iPod in exchange.)

Casper asked the "toofe fere" for $500 when she lost her first tooth (which "fel in a crak" in the windowsill). We speculated that the $500 was to compensate for her pain and suffering. She got a golden dollar coin.

How is D just losing his first tooth? Isn't he nearly 7?

Yeah, his baby teeth came in really late (he was toothless until he was a year old) so they're falling out late too. Mine were the same way.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

He's getting 3 dollar coins

My reaction? "There's a 3-dollar coin?"

Because the editor has a SUPER sharp eye when it comes to hyphens or, as the case may be, the lack thereof.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

As it turns out, I got in my own way too much to manage the rhubarb fool. BUT I added some of the rhubarb-y part to a piece of Sunday's cheesecake and that is quite tasty.

I hope le nubian is sleeping, or at least not in a meeting.

BTW, can I count rhubarb as a fruit? I don't think it is botanically, but for "I ate some fruit today" purposes, perhaps? I don't think I can stretch anything else I ate today to cover it and I'm all out of satsumas.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

BTW, can I count rhubarb as a fruit?

Wikipedia currently says yes:

Rhubarb is usually considered a vegetable. In the United States, however, a New York court decided in 1947 that since it was used in the United States as a fruit, it counted as a fruit for the purposes of regulations and duties. A side effect was a reduction on imported rhubarb tariffs, as tariffs were higher for vegetables than fruits.

Rhubarb is totally a fruit.

My reaction? "There's a 3-dollar coin?"

It's queer, don'tcha know? ;)

I went to a Cuban restaurant and was v disappointed. The tostones were good but they served only white rice--no beans! I feel veggies are missing from my diet today, but the salad was $11! Ridiculous.

I made it home!

Also, when I was a kid, the tooth fairy brought me a quarter, but my best friend a dollar.
