My parents said that to me one time.
Because I answered, "Oh, no way, there are starving children in India? Don't worry about me or anything, I'll wait."
I have heard from some sources that I was a smart well, too smart for my own good and plenty o slurs like that, but seriously, if there are starving Children in India and I'm not HUNGRY well, I don't quite get the issue.
One of my favorite uncles once came to visit and informed my parents (in full view of all four of their kids) that the appetite centers in the brain for "sweet" and "not sweet" were like, different, and one can definitely be full from dinner, but more than ready for dessert. LOL. You could watch the look of horror spread slowly across their faces, and like, there was nothing they could do though. That ship had SAILED.
It's still legendary in our household. Ironically, the only overweight member of our family was my mom, but she got Crohn's disease in her mid thirties that like ,caused her to have to take steroids for a long time when like, it was kind of a disaster for her age wise, and like, metabolism wise.
She was a bit odd about food, like even when living alone, she would hide her stashes and whatnot. I was always coming across them during times of travel when I had to go and house sit and being like, "Mom, why are you HIDING food for yourself, your kids are grown up AND YOU know where it is." LOL.
The final house sit before she moved to Colorado I was like, "Imma gonna be good , I'm not going to look," only I needed some item of clothing like a headscarf so I entered the closet. I found MANUFACTURERS cartons of my mom's favorite foods and they were all hidden away in the closet. I felt so bad, I mean she wasn't even from the Great Depression or anything, these were all common household items you could purchase from many grocery stores. My husband kept taunting me about searching for it, but I seriously informed him I WASN'T, although I did immediately grab him and say "YOU HAVE TO SEE THIS."
I never did anything about it though because, like, she was my mom, so like, you know I'm sure there's some deep secret there related to the disintegration of her marriage and like, gaining 200 lbs, so I just let it be.
