What about the British story of the tailor with the giant scissors chopping the thumbs off of thumb suckers? People weren't f*cking around with their kids' stories back then!
Here’s another one: there once was a boy who loved to look at the sky and dream. One day he was looking at the sky, walked into a lake and drowned. The moral of the story: stop dreaming and get to work. Ah, terrifying German GrandmaZ
2021 update:
There once was a boy who didn’t want to eat his soup.
He told everyone his parents were sexist misogynists who were racist and homophobic.
The school gave the boy a sexchange and the parents were sentenced to 18 months prison.
"Th-th-th-that's all folks!"
Eat your soup.
