Daughter's no-sugar fortnight lasted six days. Her tammudu was selling her the sweets

Our 13 year old announced a two-week no-sugar challenge last Sunday. Very serious, chart on the fridge, lectures at dinner. Yesterday I found out the 10 year old had been quietly selling her pieces of the Mysore pak from the fridge at five rupees each. He kept a ledger. Akka owes him forty rupees and says she'll pay after the challenge. My partner, who works in finance, has gone very quiet about where he gets it from.
