Just follow the Yellow Brick Road.

Munchkins are the natives of L. Frank Baum's 'Oz' stories - he wrote many 'Oz' stories at the turn of the 19th/20th centuries - the most famous being, The Wizard of Oz (1939 film) - published in 1900.

In addition to Baum, there were other writers of 'Oz' stories.

Baum had German origins and it is possible that Munchkins is a corruption of the inhabitants of Munich (in German, Munchen)

On the set of The Wizard of Oz , dwarves were hired to play the Munchkins . The large gathering prompted partying amongst the small cast deep into the night. Filming was suspended due to a drunken riot amongst them on set .
I'm surprised someone has not objected to letting these 3 foot hooligans set up at the old Prep school.

Just an observation....an open day for PROSPECTIVE parents, eh?
..so it's not for parents of prospective nursery ankle-grippers! And if you're a parent already, I assume you are disqualified? And don't forget the grand parents - important in the whole scheme of things.

I know what they mean - it's just the way they said it.

Perhaps I'm being too pedantic and will have to sit on the naughty step!
