40 cents

1 quarter
1 dime
1 nickel

down one slide, best two out of three wins.
1 quarter, 1 dime, 1 nickel down another.  "Woah, this slide give shocks! High five me and you will see. " The quarter (especially) rolls right off the edge into the pile of leaves.

1 quarter, 1 dime, 1 nickel down again, more shocks, more high fives...
again, and again.

The curvy slides makes my stomach feel like jello, not so good for quarter, dime and nickel racing, but let me try one more time, upside down.

I felt really sad watching the story of two friends come to terms with how their friendship was changing.  I was really surprised by my reaction after all the hype about how hilarious the movie was, but I knew why.  The brilliance of this movie was how life can be so hilarious and painful at the same time.    Yesterday, I was on a social networking site and one of the people I follow mentioned that she cried "proper tears" upon reading a story about a woman's tragic childhoo
