One time I fainted from hunger. It was on a Saturday morning. When I went through the kitchen to get some breakfast. My mom was sitting at the dining room table. She said I am sorry but we don’t have anything for you to eat. I nodded my head at her to let her know I heard her. Then I went out side to play with my friends.
I wasn’t upset or angry and I didn’t dwell on it. It was as if I said to myself “Well sometimes there is food and sometimes there isn’t. After I played for awhile I fainted. I don’t remember how I got back into the house but I woke up on the couch.
We had family friends named the Calvin’s. They were members of our church and were very kind. Mr Calvin came over with some food. All I remember was there were some corn flakes, milk and sugar. I sat down at the table and gulped down a bowl of cereal.When I was done I wanted another bowl. My mom said “You can’t have another bowl. We need to save it for later. Then I was very angry .I screamed “I want it right now. I am hungry now”. she gave in and we ate the whole box.
