I have awful nails, very thin and brittle. Needless to say, they are mostly short all the time. When I was still teaching, my friend (with beautiful fake nails) would send her first graders to my room with a canned soda and I'd open it for her and give the kids a sticker. I would get them sometimes when they made it to 4th grade and they would ask if I remembered them coming to my room with sodas. I thought it was pretty funny.
