Fridge Horror

• When I was a little kid, around 4-6 years old, I loved the poem "Little Bunny Foo Foo". Reading it as a teen or young adult, I realized the title character was the equivalent of a schoolyard bully who was torturing the field mice when he scooped them up and bopped the on the head, and the "Good Fairy" then effectively lobotomized him as punishment for doing so. And then there's another version where she beheads him! You know, for kids!
  • There are versions where Little Bunny Foo Foo is kissing the field mice rather than bopping them. Because, you know, sexual assault is better than physical violence?
  • It's never mentioned what a goon is.
    • Foo Foo became a Something Awful forums member?
• No one never said Humpty Dumpty was an egg...
  • Humpty Dumpty was, in fact, a cannon.
    • Actually, despite other theories to the contrary, the most likely explanation is that The rhyme was a riddle to which "an egg" was the answer.
