Doug goes to the bathroom to relieve himself and he thinks it is too early to get up and so he slips back to bed. With eyes closed again he is awaken after ten minutes by grandma knocking on the doors and opening them. "Good morning Doug! I'm bringing homemade breakfast for you. Because it is the first morning in here, I take it for you to bed, to cheer you up in your first holiday day.“ Grandma is smiling at Doug and carries in her hands heavy tray loaded with enough food for three people. There are french toasts, large stack of greasy pancakes drenched with syrup, big bowl of fried eggs with strips of crispy bacon, large plate of rolls with butter, glass of orange juice and pitcher of whole milk.
Doug sits down upright, grandma is putting the tray on his lap and then Doug say with some hesitation. "Grandma, this looks like breakfast for king, haha! ... Um mm, I usually don't eat much at morning.“
"Oh honey, here in the countryside on fresh air you will find better appetite soon and then you will be eating heartily all your meals. I'll take care of it, you can bet. You are so skinny beside of others family members, maybe because you are not used to eat properly from the beginning of the day. So eat up my boy and don't be ashamed to eat a lot here with me!"
Doug starts eating with gusto, he is quite hungry after he looks at tray and smells wonderful aroma coming from all warm caloric meals. Maybe grandma is right about change of air and therefore better taste for food. During the meal Doug talks with grandma. She asks him about his eating habits, what he wants to eat for breakfasts, which sort of meals he likes for lunches and dinners, then she is interested in his favorite snacks and finally about wide variety of sweet foods Doug love to nibble on. She even writes some notes and nods with smile "Yeah, I remember some of the foods and goodies from your past visits in here, you always had tastes for sugary foods and desserts and I really appreciate to have someone in house who will eat my baking from now. I will cook for you and with time I will help you to improve your appetite, you will see soon.“ and pat him after his head.
Doug finally slows his eating effort, he is really full. On the tray is still more then one third left of the whole breakfast feast. " I'm sorry grandma, I'm totally stuffed, really. It was all tasty, but I can't eat another morsel of your fantastic food. You cooked too much for me.“
Grandma smiles and says it is nothing, but in her eyes Doug see sort of condemnation.
"Now sleep and digest your big meal. You can get up when you want, you are on holiday. And don't bother too much with clothing around home, just casually. Shirt and sweatpants are OK.“
She gets up from the bedside with tray in hands and goes away from room and close doors behind her. Stuffed Doug lies down with head on soft pillow and glimpse on the alarm clock. It is just half past seven. Grandma brought me the food here quite early, I must have eaten for at least three quarters of hour, he is musing. He soon fall asleep with hands resting on his distended and full belly.
Doug will wake up at almost ten o'clock and goes to bathroom for a shower. He still feels little full from morning meal and when he is soaping his bloated middle under warm water, he likes the feeling of full and round belly under touches of his fingers. After he slowly dries his body, he went to dress his underwear and then go for his bags to unpack all clothes to the wardrobe. He take his most casual shirt on him, then he founds on top of the other bag a pair of his old sweatpants and put them on also. Under them are few pairs of new sweatpants, which he haven't seen at home before. It is strange, he thinks, maybe my mother bought them for me to wear them for holiday in here. When he raises one pair at his hands up, he see they are quite large sweats, many sizes bigger then his current waist size, with elastic around the waist and strings. I can't wear such big clothes, it must be some mistake done during shopping, he sighs. Then he put all clothes to wardrobe without closer inspection of the items and close the door of cabinet. With expectation of new day he headed for the kitchen to see grandma.
