So, the grocery list was passed to me… as usual… rice, washing detergent…Rice! We’re buying rice again? I just bought a 10kg sack of rice last month, and now we need more rice?
I did a survey amongst friends. Going by rice grain count, my family consumed almost twice as much rice as everybody else. How is that possible? We’re not heavy eaters. We have only one meal daily, six times a week.
I consume 0.75 bowl of rice, the maid 0.8, mum 1.0, dad 1.0 (approx), and Rocky 1.5, which would be a maximum of 5.05 bowls of rice. There are no refugees hiding in the basement or attic. Where did it all go?
This time, I bought two times as much rice - 20Kgs. If we finish the rice in less than two months I will scream and launch an official investigation.

You shouldn't buy too much rice - have you forgotten the time we got weevils in the rice and dad made us sit there and pick out the bugs??? I think in the end we just threw out the whole sack too.
Sam and I go through 10 kg sack of rice in about 4 months. But we don't eat rice every day.
maybe your rice is all gone because you keep going to your sister's weddings and throwing it!
(in US people throw rice at weddings... hope that was clear)
(except not as much anymore because it is really bad for birds. So now people throw... something else. Maybe bird seed. Or white beans. Or something. I can't remember.)
Yah, remembered the weevils, courtesy of S.Hussein, that's why, this time, I bought 20kg of rice packed in 5kg bags.
Why would the rice grains hurt the birds?
Bad for their digestion, or they get hit by the flying grains? Did not remember birds flying nearby when we were throwing rice at your wedding. Your neighborhood birds were quite savvy.
Bad for digestion... i think it swells up in their stomachs.
