When we were hungry, she made us take turns licking the same dried out potato peel at dinner time and sometimes she would let us chew tree bark for lunch but only if we were able to run her gauntlet of strewn broken glass--barefoot. Breakfast was even worse: egg McMuffins. We would collect our tears of despair in a dilapidated Dixie cup and passed it around taking small sips so we would at least get some fluids.
Those were the days.
