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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
When one of my last teeth fell out, when I was about 10 or so, my mom told me to put it under my pillow for the tooth fairy, and I rolled my eyes and said something like, "You mean, so you can give me a dollar? I'm too old for the tooth fairy." My mom said that the tooth fairy doesn't bring anything to kids who say they don't believe in her. I said fine, and I wrote a note to the tooth fairy, saying that there was a recession going on, and money isn't worth what it used to be worth, and I really should get more that a dollar for a tooth, since a dollar was what I had gotten when I first started losing my teeth four or five years earlier. I got a twenty.
Well, if it's good enough to reduce import tariffs, it's good enough for me! "Eat fruit " officially checked off of To Do list.
