Where did the expression "I could just eat you up" come from? |

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" |

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...
