I have four 10 yo girls at my house doing their science fair project. A Kuwaiti, a Russian, an Irish lass, and my American daughter. What was supposed to take 3 hours is now on hour 6. Kids are starving, but the Kuwaiti is observing Ramadan, so they agreed not to eat in front of her. Their project is taking place in the kitchen, so can't even sneak food out of the cupboards.

The Irish girl is starving, but too nice to say anything. The Russian is hangry, and she is Russian, so everyone knows about it. The Kuwaiti is a princess (literally) and an Ambassador's daughter so she is standing up to the Russian. My daughter is the typical overly-nice American trying to keep everyone happy. The situation was close to going nuclear so I snuck off to McDonald's (ironically the Russian's favorite food) and bought a bunch of nuggets and stuff. I hid them in our detached jacuzzi room, and now everyone (except the Kuwaiti) is rotating through the room one or two at a time to eat. So far we haven't been caught. We are Cuba-missile-crisis close though, so I hope she doesn't start smelling the nuggets on our breath.
