"Is that your breakfast?" I teased the intern who was carrying a bag of sweets.
He offered me some and I asked about the price because it has been a long time since I've bought assorted sweets from a newsstand.

**(Assorted sweets' pricing is a good indication of current inflation because it's the simplest to count, and most memorable as we have began buying them since we were little.)

"Oh, the uncle's pricing always change. He is never consistent with his calculation."
The other intern agreed.
They didn't look like they mind, hence I think the price is either fair or cheaper.
"The price goes up and down.  Like the Forex index."

I let out a guffaw.
It's so funny that I feel I need to remember it.
Laughter during depression is really something.
