When I and my brother and sister were little, my great grandmother would send us the same Christmas gift every year. She’d send my brother twenty or thirty nearly priceless pre-Civil War silver dollars, and she’d give my sister and I exactly one dirty, torn dollar bill and a piece of broken costume jewelry she’d [...]
