In high school my mom was withdrawing from meds she couldn’t afford to pay for anymore...and she wasn’t cooking at home and she wasn’t giving me money for school lunch...after about 3 days of starving...I was in art class and we were painting with watercolors and I said to the guy at the table next to me “hey, how much would you pay me to drink your paint water at the end of class?”
So we combined all the tables paint water and I drank it for $5...bought me lunch for a week
