Day One-Spring Break

Curtis - "Mom I need food."
Mom - "Make yourself something"
Curtis - Mom, I need food now."
Mom-  "OK, get a bowl of cereal"
Curtis - "Mom, I need real food, like now."
Mom - I chose to ignore
Curtis - "Mom, are you listening?"
Mom - "Yes, but I am not making you food."
15 minutes passes, much of which he is standing in front of an open refrigerator
Curtis- "Mom?"
Mom - "Yes, Curtis?"
Curtis - "I need food."

It is day one of spring break.
