Rich Bite More: Mom's Household Ration Law
My mom decides to implement an income-based rationing system. Everything at home is delegated to everyone based on their income.
At a holiday dinner, I decide to grab myself an extra helping of pasta.
As soon as I fill up my plate, my mom snatches it from my hands.
"Hold on. Just look at the spread on the table. The sea bass is already worth 180 dollars. The scallops are worth 200, whereas the lobster goes for 300 dollars.
"You only earn 3,000 dollars per month. If you want a second serving, you must pay up first. I'll charge you based on the family rate. It'll be three dollars, thank you very much."
My mom sticks out three fingers while smiling at me.
