Let’s get real here. My kids, husband, & my entire family knows the real me when I am hungry. Well, maybe a few others too, like the waitress Saturday night when we waited over an hour for our food – which never came. In times like that, I have to tame my HUNGER BEAST, or I may end up with no friends.
