Surely.
Now that my father is working again, too, that's much too much! How do I explain to scholarships that my parents don't have the money for the ivy league I should be in by saying, "My father is convinced that society is on the brink of collapse and as such he is spending all our money on gallons of lima beans. Yes, ladies and gentlemen of the organization, I don't have money for college because dad spent it on lima beans. So you should give me money instead."
Everything is bullshit.
I don't even eat lima beans.
