Ben was 1 in bed. He could 2 hear his uncle in the kitchen. He was arguing 3 with Ben's father. "Do I look like a bank? You're always asking me for money," Ben’s uncle said 4. "And it always takes you years to pay 5 me back." Ben's father said, "I ask you because you're my well-off brother. Look at you. You own 6 your own business 7. You're debt 8 free 9. You're single 10. You party all the time. You have your own boat. You have a huge 11 condo in Manhattan. My wife 12 and I are trying to raise 13 five kids 15. We have this small apartment 16 in Brooklyn. I work two jobs. I only borrow 17 money in emergencies 18." Ben's uncle said, "You shouldn't have had 19 so many kids. Why would 20 anyone 21 have five kids? You should have stopped after the first kid 14. But you didn't. I should start charging 22 you interest 23. Then maybe you'll have fewer 24 'emergencies.'"
