Greg isn't much like the other guys around school. In fact he's nothing like the other guys. Where most guys his age are just looking to get a piece of action and don't care at all about women Greg is simply the sweetest guy around. There isn't a single girl on the entire campus who doesn't think he's as sweet as sweet can be and that's no surprise.
You see the fact of the matter is that he has Mom or Dad. That's the secret to what has made Greg so sweet. It's not the lack of family drama; he doesn't have any drama because his siblings all go to different schools. They are all just like him though sweet as sugar without a single ounce of bad.
The reason he doesn't have an ounce of bad in him is a little bit hazy. It was probably the fact that when Momma made him she put together an extra special batch. Instead of the normal ingredients she uses oodles of extra love and special ginger that she'd grown herself. You see it turns out that if you have enough love your gingerbread men will come to life. Momma thought she had gone crazy.
Then it happened again, and again and again. Every time she did it just right and poured all of her love into those little dough boys and stuffed them into the oven they would jump right up. They were filled with love and happiness from the moment they popped off of the cookie sheet and into her hearts. It would take a few years but the Gingerbread boys always became Gingerbread Men. Greg however was held back a few years as Gingerbread Men grow slower than regular boys and was twenty one, unlike the rest of his nineteen year old senior class.
Momma made sure that she kept the boys decent. She didn't send them off the school in the nude. No, she gave them little gumdrop buttons, frosting shirts and icing pants. Some of them insisted on shoes of the finest graham and others were content with little buckles. Having icing for clothing had one major disadvantage. Momma always knew if the boys had made good on their intent.
They were boys becoming men, and the women adored them all their might. It just made it easy for Momma to keep an eye oh them was all. After all when a woman removed one of the buttons from her boys it was just gone. That was especially true with the bad girls who had a habit of swallowing gum, but even the good girls could never get them back in place just right.
This isn't going to be about them all because I could talk about them all for hours, days, weeks and perhaps years. This is just about Greg who is the hero, villain or victim of this story. I'm not really sure what the best way I to describe this boy on the cusp of manhood. So just sit back relax and listen here.
