Hobson's Choice ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's pretty Grimm Having a child allows you relive some childhood experiences and ask some questions that didn't occur to you the first time around. It's become pretty common knowledge that it was a mistranslation that gave us Cinderella's glass slippers, instead of her original fur ones. But could somebody please explain what mistranslations led to "The Gingerbread Man"? I mean, there really is a much beloved children's story about a sentient and fast COOKIE. I can hardly believe it this time around. 7:29 p.m. - 2005-05-21 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
