I'm not a big speech guy. My wife says I sound like a weather report, and that's fine.\n\nStories:\n- Leah at 7 tried to sell lemonade in December. Made $4. Said it was \"a winter strategy.\"\n- First time he came for dinner, he fixed our garbage disposal before dessert. I knew then.\n- He learned to make my mother's tamales for Christmas. They were good. Not as good as Mom's. Close.\n\nLeah's ex, Brandon, is not invited.\nTime: 2 minutes max, there are 6 toasts.","rules":[{"type":"maxWords","max":200},{"type":"plainText"}],"mistakes":[{"title":"Getting the stock toast","why":"AI toasts lean on 'two become one' and 'the journey ahead', which don't sound like you.","fix":"Add: \"Short sentences, my voice.
