He proceeded to his room and brought his shirt and jean and left it on the ironing board.
Bro: (reaching for his wallet, he took out a $5 note and hestiated for like 3 secs and took out another $10 and passed it to me) Nah! extra $10 for you.
Me: (started crying out loud) Ah!!!!!!! I actually had to reduce to this!!!! i forsake my reputation for money....
My Bro just kept smiling.
