LINCOLN, NE — Local mom Clara Gibbons expressed dismay upon discovering that her children had once again eaten all the groceries that were in the trunk of the family's vehicle before they'd even made it back home.
"I don't know how this keeps happening," Gibbons said. "I go shopping, buy a bunch of groceries, and then it's all gone before I even get back home. Sometimes I don't even bring the kids along, but they find me anyway."
"They're always out there... searching for food. Their hunger can never be satisfied."
Gibbons, the mother of five children (three of whom are teenage boys), says she tries to buy enough groceries to last the week, and it never seems to work out. "By the time I get home, it's already time to go back to the store," she said. "Sometimes they even eat the wrappers and paper bags."
Clara's husband expressed dismay over the family's financial future if hourly trips to the grocery store continued to be necessary.
"Our food budget is out of control," Doug Gibbons admitted. "I'm worried that the bank will foreclose on the house, but I can't tell my wife because I only see her for a few minutes every couple of hours when she comes back from the store and has to turn right around again. It's like she's stuck in some terrible time loop."
At publishing time, Clara Gibbons had bought enough groceries to allow her to stay home for at least 30 minutes before having to go out again to feed her ravenous children.
