A rough transcription of an actual conversation:
A: “The Hansel and Gretel story has never rung true for me.”
B: “What do you mean?”
A: “Well, that house had been out in the wood for years. It was probably covered in pine needles, and birds and animals had been all over it. Who would eat that?”
B: “Well, I see what you mean – but you’re ok with the concept of candy as a structural element?”
