Damn gingerbread houses!!
Why are gingerbread houses so horrible to put together?!
Every year someone in my family gets one, and whenever I try making them it's like icing hell is breaking loose.
All I want to do is make the stupid sides stick up straight...but instead I somehow end up with icing everywhere and six pieces of crappy gingerbread laying on their sides.
I mean, at least make the gingerbread taste good if I'm not getting anything else out of it.

I've never made one, and I don't think the thing would ever be put together. Pieces would go missing in the process! 
It's inevitable when working solely with food.
We make them, and never eat them. 
I am always so tempted to though... ;---;

Eating them is especially tasty if you pretend to be a wrecking ball or another destructive force.
I did try to bite it once, ugh, I practically bit my teeth off.
I never make them, I just eat the ingredients.
Meh, the only part I really like is the icing.
I like dipping the gingerbread into the icing and then topping it with M&Ms.
Yesh! Icing and M&Ms make even bad gingerbread tolerable.
Agreed. x3
My family has a gingerbread house that's over 30 years old... It still looks so tempting 
...Nothing with food in the title should last that long. At least the food part shouldn't.
Does gingerbread never expire or something? 
I'm not sure.
Well, it must at least taste terrible. 
Probably! Plus the other candy on it is super hard.
I can imagine. 
I've always wanted to try to make one of those. Never have though.
They're frustrating if you don't have an incredibly steady hand.
I bet.
Idk how my mom does it but she makes like 5 of them every year and they always look nice
Probably part of the superpowers that come with motherhood.
yea most likely
