so much and so little

Oftentimes you hear people remark (mostly parents) "I can't believe that something so smelly came out of something so little" or something to that effect. Last night at Outback I thought to myself, how could something so little consume so much?! As soon as the waiter placed the bread on the table, Alison went to town. She loves bread, and she ate almost the whole loaf (Carl, Laney and I each had one piece, Alie had about 4). I thought to myself, she must be filling up on bread...not so much. Soon her chicken nugget and french fry dinner came and she ate a whole chicken strip and at least15 french fries. To some this might not seem like a lot, but for someone who is as tiny as Alie, I'm not sure where it all went. Laney only ate 1/2 of her chicken strip and maybe 5 french fries, which I feel is a normal amount for a 12 month old. Maybe Alie is having some major growth aspirations and is stocking up. One things for sure, she loves Outback!
