Maybe's philosophy of winning takes an intriguing turn.

I forget Maybe's lunch, but thankfully remember it at the last moment. Maybe is still excited about losing another tooth. We also discuss school rules regarding games like 'Tag' and 'Duck, Duck, Goose.'

We get a little side-tracked by a pet owner's mess. Still- a fun walk!
