Run, run as fast as you can...

You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man.


I'm teaching the preschool class in our co-op. We read The Gingerbread Man yesterday. It didn't occur to me that it might be a little disturbing until we got to the end where the gingerbread man gets eaten by a fox. I had hidden gingerbread men and told the kids we were going to find the escaped gingerbread men and eat them at snack time.

Confused 4 year old: So we're like the fox?
