"You're so cute. I could eat you right up!" Oh, now that I think about it ... DD says that to me all the time (minus the you're so cute part) but she learned that from Where The Wild Things Are. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fairy-tales-really-for-kids#post-348716 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 20:10:07 +0000 mrbee 348716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Andrea: The Grimm stories are so dark! It's amazing how they've been sanitized over the years...</p> <p>Too funny about everyone wanting to eat kids! I guess they are yummy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fairy-tales-really-for-kids#post-348714 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 20:09:55 +0000 chopsuey 348714@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think fairy tales were written to scare kids into submission.<br /> :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-fairy-tales-really-for-kids#post-348711 Thu, 18 Oct 2012 20:09:03 +0000 Andrea 348711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone gave us a big book of fairy tales that I just started reading to DD. I am quickly realizing that a lot of them are questionable. Like the big bad wolf coming to eat the little pigs. The witch wanting to eat Hansel. Little Red Riding Hood being eaten by the wolf. What is up with all the stories about eating little kids?? </p>
