I'm going to preface this by saying that yes, we are a delicious society. We go great with milk when we're fresh out of the oven. We are sweet and spicy and warm and smiling. The fresh frosting applied to us contrasts the spices, cleansing the palette in a sweet way. We are shaped just like you are, bringing a friendly and playful feelings to your eating experience.
However, when you, or your kids, bite into us, we experience tremendous pain. Our lives flash before our own eyes. We know we only have a few seconds left, and yet we cannot say goodbye to anyone. Our gumdrop buttons are usually the first to go, which are the most painful. How would it feel if we ripped your toes off before diving into a fresh slice of you?!? It's usually better if you eat our heads first. The worst is over, and we don't have any feelings left to comprehend the pain. And think about the funeral process we have to go through. There's no body!! We cannot pay proper respects because we only have a few crumbs(if any) to remember our family by. The sadness, the hardships, the endless stream of frosting tears! So, before thinking of all the crunchy goodness we provide your family with, consider the gingerbread man who works tirelessly only to have a long, painful death apart from their family.
Gingerly,
Gingy
P.S. My life once flashed before my eyes, and it was even caught on video! Here's the link to get a full background on my life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTQ-bt5IA3I
I loved your post, Emily! I thought it was very clever how you connected what we learned about the lobster with your persona of a gingerbread man! I also liked the video that you included the link to.
ReplyDeleteI loved how you related gingerbread cookies to lobsters. It was so clever how you talked about the funerals and crumbs :) good job!
