I asked her again "Why?" when I wrote this story. I was pre puberty pudgy, not fat. She couldn't answer me, but my Mom has always been timid, but not usually about her kids. This woman's daughter is now obese... funny how things turn out! <br />Thank you Lynne :D that means a lot!Ellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06070952447277684613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7504979401222114499.post-18656724881376597862012-03-25T08:29:44.342-07:002012-03-25T08:29:44.342-07:00Wow....I was out of breath reading your story and ...Wow....I was out of breath reading your story and super mad at Starbucks...it what they do, they should get it right...lol.
