Lunch While Waiting

Aunt Oy's stall on a hot March noon, the stamp due in a week: sit, Jack, even if the wait is long, you have to eat; even if I'm not hungry? even if you're not hungry, you eat, you're so thin; and even if they don't give the stamp? even if they don't, you apply again; even if the sky falls, eat first; even if I'm full, I'll eat, Grandma; stop talking and eat: even if.
