52. But then they tell all their monster friends and they all come over for cookie parties.

Mar 2014

The little girl is still scared of them but keeps feeding them so they'll be nice and eventually they eat the family out of house and home. So the monsters take over the house and become squatters. But since there are no more cookies coming they get very angry. They go out and storm the neighborhood, demanding cookies. Everyone calls the police about these cookie monsters and the story gets on the news that the cookie monsters are very irate and are breaking into all the houses. Mothers Against Cookie Monsters start protesting and picketing Sesame Street. The show's ratings go way down and they have to kill off the Cookie Monster to try and save it. I mean he was nice and everything but the people have seen REAL cookie monsters now and are mad that Sesame Street makes their kids think they are friendly. This causes even more psychological trauma to kids. The original little girl who left the cookies out sees this episode on a TV in the window of the store in whose doorway she is standing, begging for change in her now tattered clothing since her family has now been homeless a while. She sees what her actions have caused and starts to cry, then she yells "what have I done?" and commits suicide by running out in front of a bus.

So you see, that won't work.
