"Hunger...the Hungry, Hungering, Hunger"

        Well hello appetite!  I suppose for today I shall let you return and we'll see how you treat me.  We have now enjoyed two meals together today.  Mommy is super excited to see you as well.  I'm not saying I've made peace with you or that I've forgiven you for making me eat things that hurt me, and then deserting me, but I will allow you a few more chances today to redeem yourself.  If you do well, maybe I'll let you come back again tomorrow.
         Horton's appetite has returned as well.  He's back to his regular diet of sausage and rice chex.  Don't judge.  You know elephants are herbivores, and I know elephants are herbivores, but Horton doesn't....
