She knew she was making a mistake because she had a big F on her paper. Then she got a D in math. The only almost good grade that she got was in Phs.Ed.

The school got closed down and her mother sued. The principal was arrested. And the students had no education. So nobody won.

The Gingerbread Man: a c20th adaptation.

Once upon a time there was a passive and submissive little old lady who lived alone in a cottage. Upon face value, she posed no threat to anybody. One day, she decided to bake a gingerbread man. When she went to the shops for ingredients, she happened to mention her plan to the shopkeeper,
“I’m baking a gingerbread man,” Ethel said, leaving the shop.
“A what?” Gerald asked, rather angrily.
“A man made out of gingerbread, you know, what old, submissive women make to pass the time,” she responded.
“I am perfectly aware of what it is Ethel,” he said, “I am just shocked that you would fall into the category of a sexist bigot” Gerald fumed.
“How on earth can a little old, submissive woman like me, be sexist?” Ethel pleaded, her warm bright eyes shining under the cloud of suspicion.
“Well, why the heck aren’t you making a gingerbread women? Why a man?” he continued, “In fact, you’re banned. These here shops don’t like your kind. Get out.”
Baffled and upset, like an old, submissive woman should be, she scuffled out of the shop back home.
So Ethel, like a normal old, submissive woman proceeded to cook her man made out of gingerbread. She stirred and stirred and baked and baked until the gingerbread was just right. That’ll do.
Removing the man from the oven, the old lady smiled, brandishing her discoloured teeth, like the wolf. Looking up at his creator, the man started to shake in fear. The old witch went to touch her work when all of a sudden, the man jumped out of the window. He had to escape from that chamber. He had to escape from the dominance of a female.
Sprinting through the countryside, animals and people alike started to notice him. “Stop!” they cried, “I am bigger than you, I want to eat you little man!” The gingerbread man cried nonsensically “Run, run as fast as you can. You can't catch me, I'm the gingerbread man.”
Escaping from the bigger animals, the bigger humans and the old, evil, dominant witch, the gingerbread man was actually running against the wind. The wind was natural. It was tough. It was unbeatable.
Eventually, the fugitive reached a river where a bright red fox lingered suspiciously.
“Hello young man, my name is Eve,” whispered the sly creature, “It looks as if you need my help crossing this river, would you like my help?”
“Oh yes please!” cried the naïve little gingerbread man, “B… Bu… But… won’t you eat me?”
“Probably” murmured the fox under her breath, “Of course not little one! How silly!” she declared officially.
The gingerbread man, happy with meeting a new female friend, smiled for the first time since his initial escape. Women are silly creatures he thought, why on earth are they so dominant. They should only be in positions of weakness, he thought to himself; after all, isn’t that how it’s always been?
He faced the blue river. Its flowing motion was hypnotic. Even domineering. His back faced the red vixen.
All of a sudden, the gingerbread man heard a crunch. And then another. And then another. Turning around, he saw his right arm dangling from the red lips of the vixen. He closed his eyes, and waited for the end.
After the death of the gingerbread man, an official enquiry was launched. The old woman received a custodial sentence for sexually driven attempted murder; the fox was caught and sentenced to death; and the people and animals were destined for a life of inferiority and perpetual weakness.
It was a coincidence that the people who were punished were all female.

She knew she was making a mistake when she walked into the clinic that morning, but she really needed to talk to him. 'Dr House,' she said, 'I love you.' And with that, Dr. Cameron whirled on her heel and headed towards the elevator to start her day as if nothing had been said.
