I just said that to little Morrissey because he's so cute. I don't really want to eat him up; that would just be wrong and would take him away from us!

2. It probably came from grandmothers saying "oh he's so sweet"
and such.

3. Probably either the Little Red Riding Hood story...
or Hänsel & Gretel...one of those fairy tales that involve children being literally eaten up, anyway...
