This Viet lady told me the same thing when she added a dollar in the purse she gave me. Hmm...just remembered, my cousin from Vietnam gave me several purses, none had money in it. I think I will insist on having some money put in any purses given to me in the future.

My family (Irish Catholic) does the money in the purse things. Crazynurse's family (more Irish, more Catholic), does a penny and a bit of straw swiped from the church manger at Christmas.

I have a spare one if anyone is interested.
A sixpence. And not to choke on of course.
I'm amazed that they let them sell King Cakes for Mardi Gras with a plastic baby baked in.

I know. You'd expect at least a real baby in a King cake, if not an actual king.

Guess that baby flour'd be gluten free, worth a shot.

But cheaper if you buy it in bulk on the internet. I know some great dried-baby resources.

A Nawlins-based client of a former employer of mine sent a King cake to our office one Mardi Gras. The plastic baby came separately in a little plastic bag, so I guess the recipient was responsible for putting it the cake and creating the choking hazard...
