A story




A TALE OF EVAN THE DIRTY

Evan had a bath every night before going to bed . But something strange happened every night between the time his mom put him in bed and the time his mom got him out of bed. Every morning he woke up dirty.
One morning Evans mom asked him " Evan , how do you get so dirty while you are sleeping?"
Evan looked up at his mother and said with a huge smile on his face "mommy I turn into EVAN THE DIRTY every night so I can fight the dirt monsters. I am very busy.
His mother patted his head and said " Wow, you do ALL that when you are sleeping; you are a very busy boy.."
Evan got another bath the night before going to bed and woke up the next morning dirty again.This time it was dad who went to get him up. He looked at Evan and asked " didn't you get a bath last night?" Evan looked at him straight in the face and said "Yup." Dad still puzzled asked " Evan, how do you get so dirty when you are sleeping?"
Evan replied with great joy " Daddy I turn into EVAN THE DIRTY and I fight the dirt monsters. I am very busy." Dad laughed out loud and said "Yes it would seem so."
That night Evan played in the tub before getting ready for bed.
The next morning Brady, Evan big brother, got him up and saw again that he was dirty.
" Evan what did you do after you bath last night ransack the cupboards?"
Evan looked at his big brother with great joy and said " No, I turn into EVAN THE DIRTY and I fight the dirt monsters. I am very busy."
Brady said " Oh, OK what ever Mr. dirty." Evan looked at his big brother with hurt in his eyes. He did not get it." I am not Mr. dirty I am EVAN THE DIRTY!" he turned and walked away.
Evan had another bath that night . He played with bubbles and toys and even managed to splash his mom on the way out of the tub. She helped him get ready for bed.
The next morning his other big brother Garett got him up and didn't say a thing to Evan. He just had a little smile on his face.
Evan puzzled looked at him and asked " Garett are you going to ask me how I get so dirty while I am sleeping?" Garett knelt down beside Evan and whispered in his ear " No, I used to be GARETT THE DIRTY. I know why you are dirty." Evan looked Garett in the face. With this new information Evan laughed and laughed and laughed. He was after all EVAN THE DIRTY..


THE END
