I used to eat my meals more slowly than my brothers and cousins so they would all be out playing while i was stuck at the table until i finished eating. I would rather be out playing of course, so i would tell my mom that i was full and that she had given me too much food. She would then tell me to open my mouth as wide as i could and then make a big show of looking down my throat and inspecting the inside of my stomach. She'd say, "I see plenty of room down there." I believed her and grudgingly finished eating before i went out to play.
