Life begets

The five of us were at the mall. I had pulled a couple food court tables together and Laura had sent Michael to grab some napkins. He came back with a fat stack of them saying proudly, "You asked for A LOT."
I sat him down and said "Michael, you should only ever take what you need. We don't need this many napkins, like you shouldn't take more food than you can eat. That creates waste."
He looked at me with those big brown eyes and nodded.
"If there were ten of us and only a little food, how much would you take?"
He looked me right in the eye and said, "It depends how many of us were realistically going to survive."
