So, Tom Thumb turns out to be kind of an jerk. That’ll happen, I guess. In any event, one day, Tom falls into his mom’s pudding. She fails to notice and boils him alive. Luckily, he somehow survives this, but Mrs. Thumb won’t be winning any “mom of the year” awards any time soon.

I’ll start beating my kids if she is going to show up!
o_o YIKES!
How very appropriate, in the end, that the people best known for gathering all the old fairytales were named “Grimm”.
I always figured that was a pseudonym, due to the appropriateness.
More likely the word is derived from the name
Well, according the the Hitchhikers guide to earth (aka: Google), the word Grim derives from old English, whereas the Brothers Grimm are a bit later (18th century).
Fun LOTR fact: Theodens councillor “Grima”? That’s the old english noun form of grim and means goblin or spectre. Tolkien loved his Anglo Saxon puns and didn’t seem to care at all that 90% of his readership would never get the joke.
