You are what you eat.
Hey, Pablo.
Dinner is ready.
Great.
What are we having today?
It's a home-cooked casserole with tomatoes, carrots, and peas.
Mmm.
Sounds delicious.
It's really tasty and very healthy.
I'll just go and get your dad from the garage.
Okay, I think I'll get started though.
I have to leave for football training in about five minutes.
No worries, darling.
I won't be a minute.
Ugh, there's no way I'm going to eat this.
Hey, Buster, come here, boy.
You lucky mutt.
To me, this looks disgusting.
But to you, it'll be amazing.
Be quick, though.
I don't want Mom to catch you.
Something smells delicious.
What are we having?
Oh, it's just my special casserole.
It was delicious, Mom.
Thank you so much.
You've eaten it already?
Goodness me.
So good you licked the plate clean.
I know.
It was that good.
And I've got to run now, though, to get to practice on time.
and grab something tasty to eat on my way.
OK, darling.
Have a great time.
See you later, Pablo.
Good morning.
What can I get you for breakfast?
Oh, I'm OK, mom.
I'm not really hungry.
Oh, darling, you'll need to eat something, especially after last night's training.
Your body will be desperate for something nutritious and filling, maybe porridge with blueberries or some toast and honey.
I'm more than happy to make it for you.
You'll hardly make it through first period if you don't eat.
Oh, sorry, I forgot to say, I came into the kitchen whilst you were taking a shower and had a banana.
Ah, OK.
Are you sure?
I can't see any have been taken.
Oh, no.
I had one in my bag from yesterday.
I was hungry after lunch and bought one from the tuck shop.
OK, darling.
Well, it's better than nothing, but still not enough for a growing lad like you.
You're right, Mom.
But I'm never usually too hungry in the morning anyway.
I've made you a healthy lunch, though, so at least I'll know you'll be well-fed at lunchtime.
Let me bring it to you.
Thanks, Mom.
What's in it?
I've made you a salad sandwich with a hard-boiled egg just how you like it, some extra fruit, and cucumber sticks.
Oh, great.
Thank you so much.
I'd better go now.
I'll see you later.
Bye, darling.
Okay, what shall I get from the tuck shop for breakfast?
I think a bar of chocolate would go down nicely.
Ha!
My mom made me a packed lunch today.
Look what she put inside!
A salad sandwich?
Yuck!
With hard-boiled egg, grapes, and cherries.
And a stick of cucumber!
Ha!
Nice!
Nice?
That's not what I would call it.
I can't stand it.
Mom is always trying to make sure I eat totally nutritious foods.
It's also healthy and bland.
Maybe, but it's good for you.
She worries because I play so much sport.
She says my body needs to replenish.
She has a point.
You can't run on junk food.
It won't sustain you.
And you won't get stronger as a football player.
Ah, not you as well.
You sound exactly like my mom.
What do you plan to eat instead?
I'm going to put this food in the bin right over there so my mom thinks I ate it.
Then I'll run over to the corner shop and buy myself something tasty.
Like what?
As many packets of crisps, sweets, and cola as I can get with $5.
You're going to make yourself sick.
Nah, I always do it.
My stomach is used to it.
I'll never eat that healthy stuff.
Each to their own.
It may not be the tastiest, but it sure is a lot better for you.
Are you okay, Pablo?
No, I really don't feel good.
Oh no!
What's up?
You're looking a little pale if I'm honest.
I've got a really bad pain in my chest and stomach.
I think it's something serious.
Oh Pablo, you poor thing.
This isn't good at all.
I'm taking you straight to see the doctor.
I'm really concerned about you.
Okay, and what can I do for you today?
I think I read in your notes that you're experiencing chest pains.
Yes.
Ow!
Oh, they really hurt.
Is it serious?
Well, it's hard to say at this time.
I just need to make some observations and maybe run some tests, and we'll soon work out the problem.
Okay.
Can you tell me a bit more about your lifestyle and diet?
Oh, he eats well, doctor.
I make sure of that.
He has plenty of fruits and vegetables.
Okay, that's great.
I'm just going to listen to your heart.
That all sounds good.
Pablo, can you tell me a bit more about the pain and how it feels?
It's like a fire in my chest, almost up to my throat.
I feel really nauseous too.
OK, this sounds more like a case of indigestion than anything else.
Take this antacid and see if it makes a difference.
Oh, that's so much better.
My pain is gone.
Oh, thank goodness.
That's such a relief.
Okay, Pablo, I think we need a word.
Boys your age don't normally get indigestion, and when they do, it's usually because they've eaten far too much junk food.
I think you know what I'm talking about.
Pablo, is that true?
I'm so sorry, Mom.
I haven't been eating your food.
I've just eaten rubbish.
I didn't think it would make me sick.
I thought it was safe.
But I was wrong.
I really regret it now.
And I promise, I'll eat your healthy food from now on.
I'm glad to hear that, Pablo.
Wise decision, my boy.
If you were to carry on, your health problems would end up much worse than a touch of indigestion.
That's for sure.
I'll be very careful from now on, doctor.
Thank you very much, doctor.

Learn to say thank you.
Mother, can I have some money to buy myself a new bag?
How much is it?
$50.
Isabella, I can't just give you $50 for another new bag.
I gave you money earlier this week, and you already have so many bags.
But I don't have this bag.
You're so unfair.
Why can't you be more like Jane's mother?
She has new things all the time.
And I'm top of all my classes and an A plus student.
You should be happy and want to buy things for me as a reward for my good results at school.
I am incredibly happy and proud of you.
But still, I cannot give you $50 for a new bag.
Well, you don't act like you were proud.
You don't even care about my needs.
Isabella, I'm not having this conversation now.
I'm tired, and I have an appointment.
I'll be back in a couple of hours or so, but your grandmother is here.
Fine.
Walk away.
You obviously don't care that much about me.
Ugh.
Isabella, my child, please come over here.
What is it, Grandma?
Do you need something?
Isabella, have you hurt yourself lately?
What do you mean?
I mean the way you talk to your parents, your mom and dad.
Have you been listening in?
I haven't been listening in, but I can hear what is happening.
You are an intelligent and beautiful child from loving parents.
But you treat them so badly.
I can't work out why.
Because it's not fair.
All of my friends have so much stuff.
And their parents buy them new makeup, clothes, and bags whenever they want.
Okay, but do you understand that every family's circumstances are different?
Well, yes.
And do you realize some families have more money than others?
Yes.
But do you also realize that not every family is filled with such love as yours?
Kind of.
Although your mom and dad may not be able to give you every material item you wish for, they give you all the love they have.
Since the moment you were born, your mom and dad have given you everything you asked for.
When you wanted to learn ballet, the piano, and all the other things, they made that happen.
Do you think they made it happen by accident?
I don't know.
No, your father worked extra hours and missed out on precious family time to earn enough for you to take up the clubs.
The same for your birthday and Christmas.
He stayed on for longer to buy you the presents on your list.
One year, he even took on a second job just so he could please you.
Okay.
And your mother, do you remember the last time she bought anything or treated herself?
No.
She wears the same clothes almost every day and spends all day cleaning, tidying, and sorting.
And are you beginning to see why?
I think so.
Good.
Your mother doesn't wear the same clothes every day out of choice.
I know she would love to go to the shops and buy herself something nice.
But she can't because her spare cash goes to you.
And I know for sure she doesn't want to spend the day tidying and cleaning, but she doesn't have anybody to help her.
Oh, poor mom.
And instead of hearing a thank you, I hear you shouting at them that they aren't good enough and that things are not fair.
Oh, I know I can be so mean sometimes.
I can see you are beginning to see the error of your ways.
It's time you grew up, Isabella, and begin to appreciate the things you do have and not yearn for the things you don't have.
There'll always be more clothes and bags.
But there will only ever be one mom and dad.
Oh, grandma, I've been awful.
I couldn't see what was right in front of me.
I feel terrible.
Help me, grandma.
What can I do to make things right?
Well, I'd say you can begin by showing some appreciation for everything they do.
Yes, that's a good start.
And you're old enough to go out and find a part-time job.
Then you can spend your own earnings and begin to appreciate the value of money.
Yeah, I really don't want to, but I know you're right.
Thank you so much, Grandma.
I'm going to put this right.
Isabella, I've been thinking and I've decided to give you the $50 for your bag.
You deserve it for studying so hard and making us so proud.
If you pop out and get it now, you should be back in time for dinner.
Mom, Dad, I am so sorry.
What do you mean?
For everything.
For the way I speak to you, the way I ask for more money.
and how I haven't seen what is right in front of me.
You guys.
And you're the best.
Thank you for everything you've always done for me.
Wow.
This is a change around.
Who are you?
And what have you done with Isabella?
I mean it, Dad.
Put your money away, Mom, and buy yourself something nice with it.
Grandma has helped me to see the bigger picture.
Anyway, I'm 17 now, and if I need extra cash, I should earn it myself.
Wow, Isabella, you fill my heart with pride and joy, and I love you.
I love you too.
