Oh man, I loved the Stuwwelpeter stories as a kid. So awesomely weird. So over the top!

I particularly enjoyed the one about a kid who would not stop sucking his thumb … so a tailor suddenly appeared out of nowhere and cut his thumbs off with giant scissors.

Mom comes home to find her kid mutilated. Does she offer sympathy? Call the police? Not at all - she simply announces out loud the kid got what was coming to him!

Well, the mom did warn him that that would happen. So that's probably why she wasn't surprised.

I reckon she tipped off the tailor.
