Author's Note: Okay, I tried. I really and truly did. Please, everyone, don't hate me for this! Pleeeeeease! Done begging now. Umm . . . guess who it's about! You don't have to be a genius to figure it out. I thought it would be funny to do this . . .

Since I can remember - since forever - the rules have, for the most part, always been beneath me. With Mummy and with Dad, nothing was ever good enough for me. Me - the center of their attention, the light in their darkness, the very reason they exist.

But now - now the rules are changing, and I can't say I've a taste for this change. Hunger, you know, is a terrible thing, especially if you've grown accustomed to eating several times a day. With the new rules, I'm only allowed breakfast, lunch, and dinner. No more brunch, no desserts (the horror!) and absolutely no snack times (unless it's "healthy" food). What is a growing boy such as myself to do?

My stomach is rumbling and I am bored. Without a candybar to munch on, or some popcorn to devour, what's the point of playing video games or using the computer? Even watching t.v. has lost it's magical appeal. It's just too depressing, and I can hardly bring myself to even look at the screen anymore. Some of my happiest moments were spent doing just that, while munching on potato chips or chewing pretzels. Today, Mummy made me munch on carrot sticks instead.

Cake, pastries, nachos, chocolate, and cheese doodles used to be my life. The day Mummy got the letter from that stupid school nurse at Smeltings and threw all of my favorites away was the worst day I've ever experienced - I really cried for the first time in years. It makes me sick to my stomach to look at those green - what's the word for them again? Oh, yes - vegetables, and if I see another orange or banana, I swear I'll scream.

My life feels so empty, so barren. There is nothing left for me without my food. I want to give up on living, because they won't let me eat. Because Nurse decided to go and change the rules . . .

Author's Note: Did everybody guess Dudley? If you did, then you're absolutely correct! Oh, and with the semi-big words in this one - let's just say Dudley used a thesaurus, okay?
