Nutty ... and Tough, Too

Whoa. Are you alright, Lucette?
Oh, yes. I fall like that all the time. I never cry except maybe one little tear drips out.
Goodness. You are tough.
Yes, I know.
Would you say you are a 'tough nut' or a 'tough cookie'?
I would say I'm both.
If you had to choose just one?
Well, definitely tough nut. Nuts are way tougher than cookies.
