Chet's Weight Loss Diary

Chapter 3- Childhood Obesity

October 15, 1978 Bath Maine

It's 11:13am when Chet finally gets a little brother. He already has an older brother and a younger sister but he always wanted a little brother he can teach his ways to. This is a terrifying thought. No one wants another Chet. They can't keep any food in the house. The pantry is literally padlocked shut so he can't get in. His mother only opens it when he's at school. It's sad such a young boy is capable of eating an entire family out of house and home.

Today's a big day! The baby came home today. Chet is in a bad mood because he's now realizing he needs to share his belonging. Once the baby gets home Chester gets extremely territorial over all of his belongings. He starts to gather everything from the downstairs and bring it up to his room. It's once he gets up there he realizes that the baby's crib is in his room. He storms out of the room and cries in the closet in the hallway. Later that night his mother goes to tuck him in for bed when he realizes his baby brother is in the crib sleeping away. Chet gets a terrible idea. He climbs into bed like he normally does and says goodnight to his mom like usual. Once he's alone with his brother he starts to act. He gets out of bed and makes his way over to the crib. He picks up the baby and brings him downstairs to the kitchen. He turns on the burner and puts a pan of water on top. The baby starts to cry. He's now spotted. His father comes downstairs and finds Chester trying to put his baby brother in the boiling water!! It was then that they realized Chet was a trying to eat his brother. This is something his family will never forgive him for.
