[Ruby] Associations problem

[shaners becker]

i describe my app/db setup first, then my question is at the bottom.

i building an app for comic shops. they have customers that have a  
subscription. meaning every month when the new x-men (let's say)  
comes out a copy gets put in their box even if they're not around on  
that day. that way they don't have to worry about it selling out  
before they get there.

so i have three tables: subscribers, subscription_items and products

subscriber has_many subscription_items
subscription_item has_many products
products belongs_to subscription_item
subscription_items belongs_to subscriber

subscribers':
box_number
first_name
last_name
email
phone
street_address
city
state
zipcode
created_at
updated_at
last_purchase
notes

subscription_items' schema:
subscriber_id
product_id
created_at
updated_at
start_issue
end_issue
notes

products' schema:

diamond_item_code
title
description
retail_price
publisher
genre
upc


in the console:

l = Subscriber.find 1
=>
--- !ruby/object:Subscriber
attributes:
   city: sea
   box_number: "73"
   updated_at:
   zipcode: "98105"
   notes: he only comes in every few months, but is good about  
clearing out his box.
   id: "1"
   street_address: 4733 roosevelt way
   phone: 801-898-9481
   first_name: shane
   last_name: becker
   last_purchase: 2007-01-03 06:09:03
   created_at: 2006-09-18 16:09:03

 >> y l.subscription_items
---
- !ruby/object:SubscriptionItem
   attributes:
     updated_at: 2007-01-06 01:41:11
     product_id: "4999"
     notes: only the grant morrison stuff
     id: "1"
     start_issue: "4"
     subscriber_id: "1"
     end_issue: "74"
     created_at: 2007-01-06 01:38:01
- !ruby/object:SubscriptionItem
   attributes:
     updated_at: 2007-01-06 01:41:11
     product_id: "6732"
     notes: ""
     id: "2"
     start_issue: "1"
     subscriber_id: "1"
     end_issue: "7"
     created_at: 2007-01-06 01:38:01


if a Product object looks like this:

   title: SPIDER-MAN KEYCHAIN GACHA CAPSULE TOY ASST  (APR045096)
   diamond_item_code: DEC060093J3
   id: "4999"
   publisher: DARK HORSE COMICS
   retail_price: "0"
   description:
   genre: SH
   upc: "1"

first.
