Hungry

The kids wander around the house, perennially hungry. “When is lunch? Is this lunch? After we finish it, when’s the next meal? Is there more food in the house? Is anybody planning to feed us? What are you holding? Is it food? Are you sure it isn’t food? Where can I find a piece of food?”

The adults are pale and cornered, feverishly trying to decide what else to stuff into the hungry little beaks.
