In and out in October

October. It's time to think about doing things inside but it is also tempting to go outside. Although, if you ask me, staying in is way better.
They always have to pry me out from the inside and drag me to the outdoors. Once I am there though, I always find ways to enjoy it.,, but I need to make sure that the P's don't realize that. It reminds me about a Calvin & Hobbes story that was all about that.

Anyway... talking about inside: Maman could not believe her ears when after 7 years and 3 months I asked for a piece of paper to DRAW on. Ok, well, I read about 20 chapter books per week but I have never really been tempted by the blank pages in front of me. So, ok, maybe she is right to be excited.
She was even more excited when she saw that it was not a big blob of colors and lines ( usually a sign that everything on the piece of paper had exploded!), but it was a real drawing, with a real story behind.

It took 3 days to finish the drawing but I went back at it on my own. Papa and Maman were nice enough to transcribe the story on what I decided was going to be a scroll. I am mighty proud of it. Maman even burned the edges to make it look ancient.
So the drawing is mine. The story is also mine and I even found the title:
"The Legend of the Muncher".

Here is the story created and read by Noah and you can read the written version below:

The legend of the Muncher

Munchers live in volcanic areas when they are adults. They like eating people. They love getting a shower of lava bombs*. They love to take lava baths.

When do you have the best chance to see a Muncher: On the anniversary of Mt Saint Helens’ eruption.

Munchers are very dumb. Their favorite food is large jalapeño pepper onion pizza.

Baby Munchers eat grass and are also very dumb. You will find them in the desert.

How many years does it take for them to become adults: It takes 100 years. Their life span is 10 000 years. When a muncher is born, it is the size of a refrigerator.

If you go to a volcanic area, it is best to carry a sword or an energy gun. You can kill a Muncher by shooting it in the face with an energy gun. You can also stab it in the eye or up its nose with a sword.

Munchers live in packs and sometimes clans.

What do Munchers look like: see the picture included. Munchers let out loud shrieks that can pierce your ear drum.

Munchers like to leap and land on rocks.

How do you tame a Muncher: you start feeding it steak by shooting them towards its mouth. Since it likes human flesh, you get a canon and you take a person who does not know anything and you put him in the canon. Then you aim so that the person lands flat before the Muncher’s eyes. Then you light the mesh and let the canon go off: the human is eaten. Now, you walk up to it and start lightly petting it: not on the head; just on the torso. The Muncher will start purring and will start rubbing against you. You have successfully tamed the Muncher.
