Whenever I didn't want to finish all my meal my mum would say "think of all the starving children in Africa".
I used to think "I AM thinking of the starving children in Africa!" I thought that all the food that got put in the bin went to rubbish tips in Africa because I had seen the poverty stricken people in those countries on the news scavenging through rubbish. SO I thought that what ever food I didn't eat would get sent out to the rubbish tips for them.
I really never used to understand my mum!!
