English to Italian Art/Literary Other

I genitori di un bambino smilzo sono in imbarazzo perché va sempre ospite a pranzo dall'amico (grande e grosso), quindi si presentano in casa del ragazzo con due buste della spesa dicendo:

“You’ve been so nice to host him. We felt we should contribute. He must be eating you out of house and home.”

I say, “Are you kidding? He fills right up. There’s not much to him.” Then I guess they already know this.
