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.
