Homer Simpson's Paradox

Note:  This is NOT Simpson's Paradox - see prior post

Homer:  Okay, boy.  This is where all the hard work, sacrifice and painful scaldings pay off.
Clerk:    Four pounds of grease.  That comes to . . . sixty-three cents.
Homer:  Woo-hoo!
Bart:      Dad, all that bacon cost twenty-seven dollars.
Homer:  Yeah, but your mom paid for that.
Bart:      But, doesn't she get her money from you?
Homer:  And I get my money from grease.  What's the problem?
