This is True

Aw, You Big Baby

Zack Strenkert is a big baby. Really. He was 10 pounds, 12 ounces at birth, and the 3-foot-tall 17-month-old now weighs 68 pounds. Several doctors have examined the boy, and have so far ruled out any underlying medical problems. They recommend diet and exercise. But his mother, Laurie, isn’t sure diet is the problem. “He’s never been a big eater,” she says. “He’ll have a quarter-cup of cereal for breakfast, crackers for a snack, a half a sandwich for lunch.” (AP) ...But haven’t you wondered where the family room couch went?
