Some manly character in my little guy! "Hey Dad - this coupon is only worth 1/1ooth of a cent!" 11 yo C. discovering that coupons have "cash value." I wonder how many he'll try to stockpile to redeem for cash.... "Uh" Translation: "up" - 17 mo K.'s new word And the winner of the Split My Sides Laughing Award...
