My 16 year old has started charging her brother for maths help

Her rate is one chocolate per chapter. He's 12 and in class 7, she's in class 11 and apparently very much in demand. I found out because my chocolate stash has been going down and he finally confessed. She says it's a fair market. He says she's a monopoly.

    Arre, tell him to negotiate. Bulk discount for the whole syllabus, chocolates paid after the exam if marks are good 😄

      Passed this on. She says there's a festival surcharge till Diwali.

    In my house the 7 year old is charging me also. I ask her English words for my work and she says ok but then 10 minutes extra TV. I am paying every day 😄

      That's a fair trade. A good part of what I know about my phone settings came from a 9 year old, and none of it was free.
