"Always pretty with the bright yellow. You thought I was going for the 'dandy' reference like you did in the subject line."
"I would have, Myx. You know how clever I am!"
"Instead, I'll tell you they're named after the shape of the pointed leaves: dent-de-lion means lion's tooth in old French," Myx said in that tone he uses to lecture me.
"Now who's trying to be clever?"
"Dave, there's a difference between smart and clever. How does that make you feel, Dave?"
"Dandy," I said.
