I was a very poor child. I ended up staying for dinner at a classmate\u2019s house when I was thirteen. Everybody at the table continued to look at me. I was shocked to see my friend\u2019s mother at our house when I got home from school the following day. My mother\u2019s face was red. \u201cWe need to talk,\u201d she said, turning to face me.<\/p>\n
I recall being completely unaware of what was happening. Ms. Allen, the mother of one of my friends, was standing by the window, looking both uncomfortable and concerned. Being a shy child, I thought I must have done something wrong right away. I made an effort to remember whether I had said something impolite or inadvertently broken a plate the previous evening.<\/p>\n
I was asked to sit down by my mother. Subsequently, Ms. Allen began speaking quietly. \u201cI observed your reaction during dinner last night,\u201d she said. I didn\u2019t understand why you wouldn\u2019t look at anyone at first, but now I see that it\u2019s because you\u2019re not used to eating enough.
