Becky didn't like being left at home on her own much - she enjoyed being able to watch as much TV as she wanted without her mom pestering her, but all the good snacks were in the cupboards too high for her to reach, and TV just wasn't the same without something to munch on as she watched.
They drove to the baseball game, arriving just as it was starting. They made their way to the seats and sat down quickly, cheering as they spotted Josh and his team. The game began and Becky watched for a while, not really understanding much of what was going on. Baseball didn't interest her much, even if her brother was one of the players, and she was soon bored.
She looked down at the new pants they'd bought at the department store. They were much more comfortable than her other clothes - recently, all her clothes seemed to be a little too small for her, the waistbands digging into her tummy when she sat down and stuff like that; these pants though were nice and loose.
Glancing around, she caught sight of the concession stand, and suddenly remembered the great hot dogs they served there. She was still feeling quite stuffed from everything else she'd eaten today, but she reckoned she had enough room for a little more. She grabbed her mom's sleeve and tugged on it.
"Mommy, can I have a hot dog from the stand?" Jo looked down at her, uncertain.
"Darling, you've already eaten quite a lot today. How about you wait until we get home?" Jo suggested. She wasn't really concerned about her daughter's weight at all - in fact, it hadn't even crossed her mind that Becky might be anything but average. However, even she thought a buffet, ice cream AND a hot dog in a single afternoon was excessive.
"Pleeease, I'm really hungry," Becky lied, clutching her tummy with one hand as she tugged irritatingly at her mom's sleeve with the other. Jo rolled her eyes.
"Alright, but this is your last snack until dinner." She got up and went to buy a hot dog for her hungry daughter, wondering where this newfound appetite had come from. Maybe she was going through a growth spurt?
