Dear Fonseca
My sister invited me to her house for Thanksgiving. I was excited until yesterday when I got an email from her saying I needed to pay her for my meal. I thought she was kidding until I called and she was serious. If someone invites you to their house for Thanksgiving, you bring something like a bottle of wine or dessert. It's wrong for her to charge me and others because she invited us. It's like we're paying for her Thanksgiving dinner. She says it's only fair that we pay. Where do you stand on this?
