People may not think so, but the gingerbread society is greatly affected by weather patterns. We usually are much quicker at predicting weather around the globe. We are also deeply affected by weather, emotionally, psychologically, and physically. Let's start with summer. Summer is hard for us, due to the fact that not many humans crave a warm gingerbread cookie. Those who were baked in Spring often fall ill or go stale during summer, leaving us nearly extinct. We always know when fall is coming because we smell a part of us-cinnamon- roasting throughout our building. If we are placed next to one of these wax fire things, our frosting often melts. The parents cry. The gumdrop buttons fall. Winter is welcoming season for us gingerpeople. We consider ourselves the dominant species on Earth at this time. I was born in winter, so we also get to celebrate my birthday (yippee)! Spring is when the doctor's are most busy. Humans are always trying this whole "I'm gonna be skinny this year" thing, so ginger people are often ripped in half-literally. "The Los Angelos Notebook" claims that humans know when the Santa Ana winds are coming, but please, us gingerpeople really predict when it's coming. People eat weather gingerbread men and then call themselves meteorologists. How rude! So next time you wonder where your intelligence comes from, you may not have to even look past your cookie jar.
Gingerly,
Gingy
I love what you've been doing with your blogs! This was yet another very clever way of connecting our daily discussions to your gingerbread world. Well done!

ReplyDeletehoney, my cousin was hanging out with you this past weekend. Maybe you know her, she looks kinda like me (except her nose is like EXPONENTIALLY larger than mine). I wish that your people were more portrayed in the media, because one gingerbread man is not enough to portray the rich culture that you are a part of.
