Hi, I'm Adam Gidwitz, host of Grimm, Grimmer, grimist, and I'm here to ask you to make a very grim decision. Okay, ready?

Would you rather not speak for 12 years to break a curse?

Or wander for years wearing iron shoes to find your true love.

Now take a moment to think it over carefully.

Ready? Let's hear some answers.

I would rather walk around wearing iron shoes to find my true love because I have a lot to say.

Ha ha ha ha ha!

Yes, me too. Being silent for 12 years would be a unique torture for those of us like you and me who have a lot to say.

All right, let's hear what this next person has to say.

I would wear iron shoes because then you could just wear the comfiest socks ever.

I love that. Yes. Iron shoes are fine. Just get some comfy socks. Love that solution. All right, let's hear one more.

I'd rather not speak for 12 years to break a curse because I like to dance.

Oh, you like to dance. You can't be wearing iron shoes.

They would totally mess up your dance moves.

Love that.
