Starvation

A Child Called "It"
pg.47

"By then, Mother would "forget" to feed me any dinner. Breakfast wasn't much better. "

David would say that his mother would forget to feed him in quotations because supposly she would forget to feed him. It was just an excuse so David wouldnt get anything to eat. The poor kid wouldnt eat anything because he just wasnt allowed to, his mother would say hes a "bad boy" thats why he didnt diserve to eat anything or play with his brothers. And for breakfast, sometimes if he finished all his morning chores that his mom would tell him to do he could only eat the leftovers of his brothers plate of cereal. For his mother, Davids brothers were all she had. Her most precious things in the world. Meanwhile David was an "It" a nothing.
