Runaway Twin (2011)
Runaway Twin
“My life was transformed by a craving for Twinkies.
When I woke up on the first day of summer vacation, I yearned for something sweet, so I decided to celebrate the end of school by eating Twinkies for breakfast. I knew better than to suggest this to my foster mom, Rita, who is a total health-food freak. Rita thinks the perfect breakfast is raw carrots dipped in unsweetened yogurt. For an extra treat, she sprinkles a little flaxseed on the yogurt. Yum-yum.
I dressed, and pulled my hair into a po...nytail. I heard Rita’s shower running, so I left a note on the counter. “Rita: I’m going for a walk. Sunny.”
Since Rita is always urging me to exercise, I knew that going for a walk would be okay with her. She didn’t need to know I was walking to the store to buy Twinkies.
Wouldn’t you think the Nebraska Department of Human Social Services (HSS, known as Hiss) would try to match a kid’s background with the lifestyle of the foster family she’s placed with? In my opinion it is cruel and unusual punishment to put a thirteen-year-old girl who was raised on junk food into a home that serves tofu and cauliflower.MoreLess
