Mikey is always hungry. His stomach is a bottomless pit that never seems to be full, no matter how much he eats. Whatever food is within his vicinity, he runs toward it with relentless determination, and when he’s not allowed to eat when he’s hungry, he erupts into loud tantrums that don’t stop until he finally gets his way..

My son runs past me, making a beeline for my desk. The bottom drawer always has snacks inside which used to be for me as I have a tendency to forget lunch when I’m swamped with work.
