Are we poor, Mom?

Imagine my surprise when I heard these words coming from my son's mouth last night as I was cooking. I had just finished telling my husband what was on the menu: tossed salad, grilled steak, au gratin potatoes, and rolls. Now, we don't have steak every night, but it is not an uncommon occurance either, so I was unsure what brought on this question.
I knelt to his level, and said, "No, why do you ask?" His reply, "Well, you said we're havin' rotten taters for supper!"
