The Gingerbread Monster

Just something cute, a little different from my normal stuff.

I was the last cookie on the sheet to be decorated.  And when the baker was running short on icing, I was brought to life a little differently than the rest of my batch.

I had two green buttons and a little red mouth.  But where other gingerbread men had eyes and a nose, I had a single eye.  Thus, the other cookies said I was no 'man' - I was a gingerbread monster!  The baker tried his best to protect me.  He kept me out of the pastry cabinet and let me reside in his kitchen.  But eventually I decided that I needed to start a life of my own.

As a cookie, this would be difficult.  As well as being edible, I am quite small and have no valid forms of ID.  I didn't make it far before I pooped out and there I lay, on the edge of the sidewalk.

A human girl saw me and picked me up.  I remember hoping that she wouldn't eat me, because ya know, germs.  But she covered me in a clear lacquer and kept me as a mini sculpture.  Finally, I was liked for my oddities and not shunned by the other cookies - her figurines welcomed me with open arms, wings, and paws.~
