Poor Mediterraneans

Sammy has been making comments about how poor our family is. "Is this why we're so poor?" is a constant remark when we ask him to do his chores.

Mummy: We're going to try different foods.

Daddy: To give you exposure to different cultures.

Mummy: We'll cook some couscous.  It's South African.

Daddy: I think it's Mediterranean as well.  We'll be Mediterraneans.  (To the kids) Do you know what Mediterranean means?

Sammy: Poor?

Master of the Universe

Daddy was wondering how Sammy was coping in his new school.

Daddy: Are you still on top of your subjects?

Sammy: I never was.

Vegan?

Sammy often claims his classmates lunch are 'restaurant grade' while our home cooking is crap.

Mummy discovers Sammy's lunch box in his bag. It's moldy, apparently uncleaned for days. 

Daddy: So your friends bring good food to school and you bring mold?
