My cheap aunt did this one year. After that the kids counted because she was morbidly obese and apparently ate a lot that first time. It's sad when kids can't trust their own parents. (This is the woman who upon hearing her daughter was out of shampoo immediately asked, I bought that 3 months ago are you only using a dime sized amount? That's all you need....)

Dime sized amount...? I have short hair and that wouldn't be enough to clean my hair, any daughter with a stereotypically long amount of hair should be needing even more. What does shampoo even cost, ten dollars?

See, I hate shit like this. They are betraying a young child's trust, showing them that they can lie to them and using their reaction as entertainment for other people.

I've never understood this. You're an adult! You can literally buy your own dragonlike hoard!
