The Weirdoes

Edward and John were best friends.

They didn’t live too far away from each other, in fact, a short ride on their bikes and they could meet at the park mid-way between both of their homes.  The boys enjoyed hanging out and playing together.  They played ‘it’ in the park and they had bike races round the block.   

But what they liked to do the most was to dress up!

            John would go to Edward’s house because Edward had the most wonderful and exciting fancy dress box.  They would open the box together and pull out the most wild and wonderful pieces of costume.  Now, of course, most children would put on pieces of costume that would create the desired character, like a patch and a bandanna for a pirate or a helmet and truncheon for a policeman.  But these boys were not interested in the ‘known’; they enjoyed creating the ‘unknown’.  They would dress up as ‘Weirdoes’, which meant putting on whatever they wanted to create the most bizarre characters.

And when they became the Weirdoes they would enter Weirdo World!

Where do Weirdoes live?  Well they live on ‘Laundry Mountain’ of course!

 

But the Weirdoes would have to leave ‘Laundry Mountain’ to go hunting for food.  So off they would go, into Weirdo land, exploring.  They looked high.  They looked low.  They even searched each other… just to make sure!  Eventually they would come across Weirdo cave, which contained the most wonderful variety of Weirdo foods.  The ingredients would all come out, then be mixed together to make the perfect Weirdo meal – mm mmm! 

Then they would continue on their quest for adventure. Weirdoes just love to climb. 

 

So when they discovered the tallest tree in Weirdo land they were up it before any other creature in the land!  And when they were at the top they would just sit and gaze out into the unknown that lay before their Weirdo eyes.

Darkness was the time Weirdoes did not understand, so when it approached they would make their way back to the Weirdo cabin.  They climbed in and were not seen again until the next time Edward and John decided to let them out.
