Nancy Drew: "Don't take any wooden nickels."

Me: "Obviously! Why on earth would I want a wooden nickel in the first place? Unless I was playing Tiddlywinks.

Nancy Drew: "No tomar los diez centavos de madera".

Yo: "Obviamente! ¿Por qué en la tierra quiero un níquel madera en primer lugar? A menos que estoy jugando Tiddlywinks."
