This is a slight twist to the classic Hansel and Gretel story but I do like the cookie house. If I were the elderly lady, I might put Hans in a cage too. I am not sure if I have the patience to deal with a child like that. But for the parents, it is really not acceptable for them to get rid of them like that. They brought them into the world, it is their responsibility to manage them. Else, don't bring them into the world.

I like the colors you added to the cookie house, the pink hues especially which gives it an interestingly sweet and inviting feel.
