I'm From The Cheap Side of the Family
Fights over two dollars. Buys dinner anyway.
There's frugal, and then there's the Cheap side of the family — the one who splits a bill down to the penny, who drives across town to save forty cents on gas, who still has the first dollar they ever made somewhere in a drawer.
This is the relative who'll fight you on a two-dollar tip and then turn around and buy the whole family dinner without blinking, because it was never really about the money — it's about not being taken for a fool. The family teases them constantly and somehow still asks to split the check with them every time.
