Leather Wallets and Plastic Money I remember when we were little my sister and I would play Ladies Dressing Up with old cracked leather wallets or purses, stuffing them fat with coupons and plastic money. I always put the coupons in the credit card section because I thought they worked like money. I don't know how old I was when I finally learned that you couldn't just buy things with those enticingly bright bits of paper in the Sunday ad. I remember when they used to come all pre-perforated at the edges so you could just tear them out neatly without hunting for scissors. Back when neatness still counted, in Ohio. Though it never got more than novelty points for me. Do they still teach kids penmanship in schools?  ¶ 10:42 PM
