What’s the problem? Peter takes one slice and everyone else gets two. That’s more than fair!

One pizza for five people, two of whom are teens, is really pushing it anyway.

Peter’s the designated Big Eater, get two large pizzas and some garlic knots for the rest of the family and a personal pizza for him… or maybe a medium, given his appetite.

That’s basically how first-world economics works, except that the other pieces should be quite a bit smaller.

He who cuts chooses last.

When I was a kid, the person who divvied up the food got to choose last.

That pizza needs some pineapple.

So the slices will be approximately the same size, Peter!

You can keep mine – it apparently has mushrooms on it

And yet he did terribly in geometry.

I don’t like mushrooms, is there a way he could slice around those?

He cut it into 9 slices instead of 8. Stop complaining!

I don’t think I can eat 8 slices. Better cut it in fourths.

How about Peter slices but someone else chooses?

Because I said so, son. Because I said so.

That Peter’s letting anyone else have a slice…

Next time, hide the pizza from him.

Peter gets an entree, or a main dish for you French, and everybody else gets an appetizer.

Not eating the whole thing before anyone else reached the kitchen? Who are you and what have you done with Peter? Or is this pizza the one left of the six you ordered?

I the pizza crust goes “crunch,” he can have the whole thing.
