The Story of the Trick or Treater formerly known as "WALL-E"

Once upon a time there was a little boy named WALL-E. He was a good little boy most of the time, but when he was naughty he was VERY naughty. One year (ahem - 2009) for Halloween WALL-E's mom decided to make him a special costume. She snipped and painted, cut and glued, and when she was done, WALL-E's costume looked just right.


There was only one problem...WALL-E refused to wear his costume. No matter how much his Mom and Dad pleaded and begged, he simply did NOT want to put it on. Eventually, WALL-E's Mom and Dad forced him into it and took a picture anyway, but WALL-E was not a happy robot.

The Mom and Dad were not sure what to do. They didn't want their son to go out trick or treating naked. Just then, the Dad (a.k.a. "WonderDAD") came home with a new costume (that only cost $3...yay wonderDAD!). After much persuasion and effort the little boy did as he was asked and changed into a little monkey instead.

The boy was much happier as a monkey, and really it all worked out in the end. The Mom became a tiger...

The Dad went on safari...

And the baby brother became a lion.

They all met up together, got loads of candy, and had a great time at their trunk or treating party in the jungle. They even met a bunch of other weirdos in the jungle who were looking for candy too.







They had so much fun that they decided to trick or treat for REAL the next night (Halloween) so that they could all eat more candy and get fatter and fatter........and fatter....and.......fatter. The trick or treater formerly known as WALL-E was happy because he was a big fan of candy.

The lion was happy because the lion is ALWAYS happy.

The mom and Dad were happy because they survived the first big night of tricks and treats with two little animals. And no one cared that the boy formerly known as WALL-E changed his identity because really, it's a jungle out there.


I am the best storyteller ever.

The End.
