Question

I wouldn’t ask for a dressing room. My mom always asked for me.
The evening before I had1risen from my seat and piled on excess (过量) noodles. Then I licked(舔)my bowl with the buttered garlic bread,2no evidence of the four servings I had eaten greedily. In the morning I would be forced to lie on my bed and suck in my3just to button my jeans. I feared school4. The sale rack, with its slender size markers, knew my number continued to grow.
I learned5to eat from my dad: fast and without thinking. In our house, the dinner table involved6,with the children on defense. One7move and our dinner would be snatched off our plates without warning and eaten up by our father8than we could blink. We soon learned to keep a hand up while9our chicken, and if Mom decided to cook that night we needed to hurry and get10before it was gone.
Only one pair of jeans I tried on fit. I11and told my mother I could button every pair but only needed the jeans that lay 12in my hands. We walked to the checkout.
I kept my head down as we passed a group of girls. They13. I glanced up only long enough to know my place. Their14cut at me, hands cupped over their mouths in secrecy.
The shop was about to close and I15two girls in my third grade class out.
“I like your pants. Where did you get them?” Marcy asked Alicia. I nodded in agreement,16they had removed their cupped hands and I could hear the17.
“Really? I like yours better,” Alicia replied.
“We should trade. What18are you?” Marcy asked.
“I don’t know …” Alicia said, finding the tag in the back of her pants. “Seven.”
“Me too,” Marcy said.
I 19in line as I held the jeans, tag folded in so 20could see the number on it was 12. I am not a size seven.
