Pumpkin Pie

We all agreed to go to Costco together. We generally make one trip a week, and the grocery bills add up when you're spending $150-$250 a week for food.

I join up to my parent's shopping cart mid-trip. We're in the dairy section. I point to the butter, "Do we need butter?" I ask.

My father hisses, "We don't have any money."

Mom ignores that remark and says, "We have plenty of butter."

I look in the basket. If we are so short of cash, why are we buying a giant pumpkin pie (it doesn't really cost that much)?

"Do you want me to buy?" I ask either of my parents.

So, I did.
