Jackie got home that day and she wasn't going to eat because she felt like she was gaining too much weight. As she entered the kitchen, her uncle, who was known for his love of jokes, noticed her hesitation. "Hey Jackie, did you hear about the hungry clock? It went back four seconds!" he teased, holding back a chuckle. Jackie forced a smile and replied, "No thank you, I'm not hungry."
Her uncle just shrugged and continued with his kitchen antics, pretending to cook an imaginary feast for himself. Jackie shook her head and made her way upstairs to her room, feeling guilty for skipping a meal.
