You're sitting

    around the table with your 5 siblings and two parents, about to eat a chicken dinner. Everyone has worked hard that day, and you can see the jealous sneer and determined posture of your brothers as you leer at each other and wait impatiently as your father says the prayer. "Amen" comes, and you all reach for a chicken leg, while your mom swats your hands away and bids you to mind your manners.

    Everyone gets a piece, and all of you could easily eat a second or third, but there's only one remaining piece of chicken sitting in the plate. You once again eye each other, as the music from a Clint Eastwood western cues in your heads. Your younger brother starts to nip and snarl, and your older one simply looks amused, like he will squish you all without stopping his eating. Your dad waits patiently with a flyswatter, waiting for one of you little squirts to break table manners so he can use his swatter and take the food for himself.

    Who gets the last piece, and why?

    Erma told me that when company came over for dinner, Mother admonished the children to say no to the chicken (cooked) as it was passed around the table. There simply wasn't enough for guests and all members of the family.

    When dinner was over, the children asked for dessert and Mother said "No dessert for you! You didn't eat your dinner!"

    I'm sorta unfamiliar with this scenario. I'm a Mexican and we have a habit of making enough food to feed a CA. The scene after everyone has gorged themselves are plates of food with enough to feed two or three more rounds.

    I used to come home from high school and find 3-4 of my friends eating lunch with my Mom just cooking away.
