#child

I've been accused of being old before my time more than once. It's true that I've always felt an affinity for, and been comfortable around, older people.

Toffee Crisp was my downfall. I once ate five at a sitting. Do you really need that third helping, Harry? My parents didn't overfeed me, nor did they make an issue of it. That's when things go wrong. It doesn't have to be a problem for children to be fat, but it does affect you: you aren't as happy in that skin. ↗
