Fifty packets of pasta and twenty bags of potatoes

We have pasta for two months and potatoesfor four weeks my mother told me. I did not get anything out of it. Am I supposed to do anything about it and I did not feel like it.
We both laid off from work. We will not have the paycheck coming from next payperiod onwards. I tried to think what this is all about. She might be making things up as usual just to stress me or make me serious in my studies.
I noticed both of my parents were sad to the point they were not smiling or talking as usual. They did not go to work for two weeks. Thereafter I saw them getting out of the house but not sure it was for the new job and I cared less even to ask.
Nothing bothered me I had the same quality of my days especially of a spoiled early teen age girl.
Four decades passed by with me noticing or not. I clearly know now how the constraints of income especially from both parents without anticipating will affect our nuclear family.
Once there was a small shortage for cumulative income for our nuclear family and I cut from the small tip amount given to the barber of our children. My husband yelled at me and told me something was seriouly wrong with me. Yes I was losing even my reasoning abililty.

Time and tide waited for none. They both not here with me even to tell them I am sorry for the indifference I showed towards them even when they were going through the worst time.
