Gingerbread Man on the Run!

[Tinksmom]

WANTED!!!!
THE GINGERBREAD MAN

My DD, Alli's class was reading about the Gingerbread Man when all of the sudden, he jumped from the book and went running out the door.
Please be on the look out for him and send us a short, funny report if you see him.
He is described as about 5 inches tall, dark skin, bald, white eyes and gumdrop buttons.
He is considered to be fast, mischievous and delicious!
Okay Intercot friends, I know how fun and creative you are. I'm hoping a few of you can help me with this class project.
Alli's teacher, Miss McElrath, is using the escape of the Gingerbread Man as a fun way to teach her kindergarten class about geography. They will be tracking the sighting of the Gingerbread Man on a map. Miss McElrath will also be adding a section about the Gingerbread Man to the classes website also. PM me and I'll send you the link so you, too can track this craft cookie. So if you do not live in Birmingham, AL and would like to bring some pixie dust to a kindergarten class reply to this post. Be sure to include your city and state (and country when applicable).
Thanks!

I looked out my backdoor about an hour ago and saw a gingerbread man of that description swinging on my kids' swingset, but when I called out to him, he took off running! He was yelling something like "Catch me, catch me, if you can..." We live near Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Thanks y'all! This is great! Keep 'em coming!!!

Howdy from College Station, Texas! Pretty sure I saw the Gingerbread man on the Texas A & M University campus!

Gig 'em

He was seen a few moments ago in Kent... The garden of England

Heard our doorbell ring, saw someone about that description jumping back into a big brown truck...I think the Gingerbread Man just delivered our photopass pictures. He must have had a lot of pixie dust to get from England to Greensboro, NC so quickly.

Just saw him running across the bridge over the Mississippi River here in Rock Island, IL

This little guy really gets around! I think I saw him at our Girl Scout meeting tonight picking out the nuts in our bowl of Gorp in Rotterdam, NY.

I saw that littl Gingrbread Man running in our garden today. Massena, NY.

Can't keep that little Gingerbread Man down!

There was lots of traffic on the Verrazano Bridge today between Brooklyn and Staten Island, NY. They said it had something to do with a trail of frosting that was making the road service very slick. Apparently the little guy decided to run the NYC marathon in the opposite direction. (Is it Opposites Day? )

Upon leaving Brooklyn, he must have gone over the George Washington Bridge as I just spotted him in Bergenfield, NJ....

I was taking my annual stroll on the Manasquan, NJ boardwalk thinking how quiet the beach seemed today. I figured it probably had to do with the very cold temperature outside. Well, I was watching the ocean as it met the horizon thinking what a beautiful sight, when I saw something way off in the distance. At first I said, "Oh my" that must be Captain Jack Sparrow and the Black Pearl. But as the object got closer I realized it was a lone surfer looking for the ultimate ride. After one of the most amazing wave rides I had ever seen I noticed this master of the surf was none other than your Gingerbread Man. But what surprised me most was this Big Kahuna of the waves was riding not a surfboard but a very sly and furry fox.

I saw the gingerbread man in our downtown Dickens Victorian Village hiding among the characters....Cambridge, Ohio

He was spotted tonight with a glass of milk and a good book in Tullahoma, Tennessee which is halfway between Nashville and Chattanooga.

Good luck with the project kindergarteners!

Gingerbread Man spotted looking for snow in Denver, Colorado (not successful - it's been dry here this November) - so he's probably heading up into the mountains to go snowboarding!

Just a short while ago, here in Brunswick, Maine when I was putting the grandbaby in the car (he just turned 1) he looked over my shoulder, pointed and giggled. I turned to see that crafty little cookie jumping into the pile of leaves that I had just raked up. Of course I put chase to him but he is quite fast. We circled the car a few times when I thought I'd confuse him and change direction, instead of falling prey to my cheap trick he jumped into the car, hopped in the backseat and kissed Carter on the cheek before jumping back out of the car and disappearing into the woods. All that was left behind was a sticky mess on the baby's face
