Peter, peter, pumpkin eater, had a wife and could not keep her, put her in a pumpkin shell and there he kept her very well …. Ok, ok, I’m all for the macabre and grotesque, but do we really want to be exposing our children to this sort of thing? Peter did WHAT to his wife?
How do you think he was able to keep her in a pumpkin shell?
I’ll tell you this: pumpkins do not grow that big in New England and if she was his wife, then she was at least 15, so she was not nearly as small as you think she was and she surely would not have fit into any vegetable shell without taking an axe to some part of her body – really people?
Think before you tell these stories to your children! For shame!
