Empty nest syndrome

E has made me a cup of tea. My kid is fantastic at making tea. (He gets lots of practise). I take the mug and hug him.
Me: What's that smell? It's like popcorn or something.
E: Doritos.
Me: But we don't have any Doritos in the house.
E: I have some upstairs. 
Me: You're hiding food in your room?!
E: I bought them myself- I'll go get them and I'll trade you some for a bit chocolate.
(We make the swap)
Me: Babe- can I get some more?
E: Have a piece of fruit first - ha ha! (This is the line I use on the kids when they ask for junk). 
Me: Why are you buying food anyway?! You need to save up all your money so you can move out.
E: Sadly that's a while off yet...
