I did not know it until years later ,but we were poor when I was growing up.How poor were we you ask?
So poor that I had to eat my cereal with a fork so the next kid could use the milk.

That is a good one I have never heard before!

We were so poor we couldn't even pay attention.

or

We were so poor; in the winter, to stay warm on our 10-mile uphill walk in the waist deep snow we used to put hot potatoes in our pockets to keep us warm. That was our lunch at school that day as well. So on our uphill walk home we just froze.

I probably plagiarized someone but I still thought it was funny
