Teen Chef Refuses to Share His Meal with Aunt: Was He Wrong?

He’s passionate about cooking and has even written a cookbook, but when it comes to his own plate, he’s not a fan of sharing. His family knows this, and usually, there’s no issue. However, one day, his aunt came over and couldn’t resist the mouthwatering aroma of his spaghetti and meatballs. What happened next has the internet debating whether the teen was in the wrong or not.
