She has spent her adult years in many places doing the same thing, only now she writes her stories down on paper.
The next day, Fudge is back in his booster chair and eating food like a normal kid.Judy Blume spent her childhood in Elizabeth, New Jersey, making up stories inside her head. (Actually it's not so amazing, just parental common sense.) Dad returns to the dinner table while Fudge sits in the bathroom, crying and wailing.
Fudge calls his bluff, and so their father carries him into the bathroom, places him in the tub, and dumps the bowl of cereal over him. He tells Fudge that if he won't eat his dinner, then he'll certainly wear it. Well, at that point, their father has had it. Then after his mother makes him a bowl of cereal, Fudge again throws a tantrum and refuses to eat. Fudge refuses to eat the lamb chops and demands corn flakes instead, which is totally okay with Peter because he gets to eat the yummy dinner. Things come to a head one night when their mother cooks a special meal of lamb chops just for Fudge while everyone else gets stew. Hatcher drags Fudge from doctor to doctor, but they all tell her the same thing: Just let him get hungry. When Fudge drinks it and finds that there's nothing at the bottom, he throws a tantrum. She makes him a milkshake and tells him that if he drinks it all, there'll be a surprise at the bottom. Their grandma comes over with some new ideas for Fudge to eat like a normal human being. Fudge continues to eat underneath the table for the next week. It's a weird tactic, but it works and Fudge takes two bites of his dinner. She fixes up a plate and puts it on the ground, then pets him like he's a real life dog. Their mother says that if he's a dog, he'll eat his food on the ground.
Next, Fudge decides to pretend to be a dog while they're all eating dinner.This makes Fudge laugh, and their mother can quickly stuff some food in his mouth.
The only thing that works is having Peter stand on his head. Fudge has decided to stop eating, which worries their parents.At the same time, Peter has also perfected the art of standing on his head, which is super impressive to his family, especially Fudge.Hatcher's next big project is the new commercial for Toddle-Bike.
