Coin a phrase.

Both sides of the coin.

Coincidence?

[jrh-migration]

Hmmm .... I wonder if that LucyBop is a big spender or just shops at the "dollar store"? When I was little it was the "dime store" and before that the "five and dime" I think.

 

No matter since "a dollar is not what it used to be" and "a dollar certainly doesn't go as far as it used to" .... and, we all know that "money doesn't grow on trees".

 

Either way, ....that LucyBop is still "pretty as a penny".
