The Infamous Halloween Squirrel Massacre

Okay, this story doesn’t involve an actual squirrel massacre. But it’s pretty dramatic nonetheless. In the weirdest series of events, this storyteller’s toddler tripped over a squirrel while trick-or-treating one year. Why this squirrel didn’t run out of the way when confronted by a running child, we’ll never know. Don’t most squirrels know how to run away?

In a tragic twist of events, the trip ended up killing the squirrel. The fact that this kid tripped over a literal squirrel would be pretty funny if it wasn’t so sad. No one wants a squirrel’s murder on their hands, much less a four-year-old. According to our storyteller, their kid has never recovered from the traumatic event. Poor thing.
