Tiny mouth, big food syndrome

Katie has an eating disorder. It's sad, but true. She suffers from tiny mouth, big food syndrome also referred to as tiny mouth big fork syndrome (TMBFS) - a syndrome which affects millions each year. It's symptoms are easily recognizable. It most commonly manifests itself in the inability to place food correctly in the mouth without most of said food ending up on some non-ingesting body part or other innocent object.

She had a particularly bad episode this past week when we had a hamburger tombstone pizza for dinner. Somehow, when she took a bite of pizza a little hamburger piece ricocheted off the side of her mouth, onto her shirt, her pants, the table setting and the table. A piece of hamburger managed to leave red marks on 4 different objects within seconds. Devastating. Stephen Hawking would be baffled by the physics of this piece of hamburger.

So, please keep Katie and her clothing in your thoughts and have compassion for those people you know that may suffer from TMBFS.
