What's the moral of the gingerbread man?

Lighthearted
Just read dd (3) the gingerbread man at bedtime. I've read it countless times before being a nursery nurse.
Anyway I just thought "What's the moral here?" Is it that you can outsmart people for so long but eventually someone smarter will come along and fuck you over anyway?

Yes, you spend your whole life trying to avoid death but eventually it catches up with you- merry Christmas Xmas Grin

Think before you act - if the Gingerbread man hadn't have been so eager to be cheeky and annoying and actually thought about what he was doing, he wouldn't have been eaten.

Gingerbread men are made for eating?

Honeybumpkin - Have you ever seen the movie Final Destination because that's literally the point of that movie.

Stop being so delicious?

Don't be a cocky shit, even if you do look cute.

HoneyBumpkin · 25/12/2018 20:56

@goldengummybear I had never realised the similarities Xmas Wink

You shouldn't do something just because someone told you to do so.

Or gingerbread people men are of very low intelligence.
