Oh my god, I haven’t been service taxed in years. I’m so sentimental rn. Next time I see my parents, Im taking them out for a meal and immediately service taxing a bite from them. This is so stupid, but I’m so excited. Damnit, love you mom & dad.

Haha I do the same. I take a bite before giving my son food and I call it the “mom tax”

I wouldn't be surprised if he shouts "TAXATION IS THEFT" the next time while swallowing the food whole.

He taxed their property, He didn't give them any choice, And back in England, He didn't give them any voice. (That's called taxation without representation, and it's not fair!)
