How to eat a gingerbread man

I told K I had brought home a gingerbread man for him. I wasn't sure if he would know what it was, but apparently this is something every kid knows. "I can't wait to see the gingerbread man!" he exclaimed, hopping out of the tub.

When I gave it to him, he took a big bite out of the head. "What are these?" he asked. "His buttons." "I will eat those buttons!" he declared. "Next, I will eat this." (The scarf.) "Next, I will eat these." (The eyes.) "Next, I will eat this." (The smile.) And he proceeded to do just that, eating all the decorations and only incidentally taking bites of the cookie.
