Parenting 101

In this dialogue, the pepper refers to a red bell pepper. (Isn't pepper a funny word?)

Nick: Hey, Dad, remember last year, when you paid me because I threw up after eating a pepper?

Sam: Actually, I paid you a quarter to taste a pepper. I didn't pay you because you threw up.

Nick: But, you gave me a dollar. You said you felt bad that I threw up, so you gave me more money.

Sam: Oh, yeah. I guess you're right.

Nick: So, you gave me a quarter to try the pepper and 75 cents because I threw up. That was worth it.
