Welcome to Scary Story kids. Myname is Edwin and today's story is about
a man who struggles with the neighborhoodkids. Does they mess up his yard?
Little do they know that he hasa plan to scare them away.
Are you ready? Here we go. It was one of those days where

(00:24):
the clouds work hard to cover upthe sun. Sonny, then cloudy,
then sunny again. Mister Binkman waslooking out the window, angry at just
thinking that a swarm of kids wasabout to get out from school and walk
down his street. He had triedeverything, from acting mean to sprain the

(00:45):
water hose across the yard. Hehad made a kid cry that way,
but did it hurt. Of courseit didn't. He had gotten complaints,
many of them mostly from angry parentspassing by. Well, that's until one
of the kid's moms came by recordinghim with her cell phone. Mister Binkman

(01:08):
had already gotten training, though hisdaughter had told him to be careful.
If they record him and he goesviral, that will be the end of
him. One thing about him,though, is that he was an honest
man. Those who knew mister Binkmanback when he was younger would say that
he was one of the kindest souls. It was always smiling, but those

(01:30):
kids had worn him out. Theywould jump around his front yard and like
to roll down the tiny hill hehad built over the years, many years
from all of the leaves and dirthe had gathered as he perfected his garden.
Flowers of all kinds and colors linedhis fence, and the most richest,

(01:53):
darkest dirt lined the edges to helphis plants grow. And those kids
were ruining him. All. Therewere four of them, mainly, and
he would refer to them by nameshe had given them. Water Kid,
who was the kid who had criedfrom getting sprinkled by the water hose,

(02:15):
Ponytail, the girl with the messiestponytail ever, Belly who was the one
whose shirt was too short for him, and Belly's younger sister, Booger Girl,
because well, you get the point. It was like they were taunting
mister Binkman so much that anyone reallyknowing his story would feel sorry for him,

(02:38):
But not these kids. Ever,since water Kid's mom complained and said
that she would call the police onhim, the kid felt more powerful than
ever and would stand there on topof the hill of mister Binkman's yard and
just wait to be seen. Butmister Binkman had a plan. He had

(03:02):
seen it somewhere in a movie ora TV show. He was going to
scare those children once and for all, and so he went to the hardware
store and got a piece of wood. But then he needed paint, so
he chose the color red. Hehad a saw to cut the wood at

(03:22):
his house, so he skipped gettingone of those, but at the cash
register he made sure to pick outhis favorite candy bar. He then paid
and drove back home. Oh,it was going to be so good.
He unloaded everything and got to thegarage. He cut the board of wood
into the perfect size, the square. He fixed the sides, and there

(03:46):
it was. Then he changed hismind. A sign like this must not
look perfect, so he cut alongan edge to make it just a little
bit crooked. He looked at itand then got the paint ready. This
was going to scare those children onceand for all. He could already imagine
the looks on their faces, andthey would see the sign, and letter

(04:11):
by letter, mister Binkman traced thewords and then stepped back. Children need
for sale Now came the hardest part, the waiting. He needed for darkness
to arrive in order to put upthe sign on the yard. The next
afternoon, mister Binkman eagerly waited byhis window until finally he saw the herd

(04:35):
of them leaving the school, likeants crawling out of their colony. Water
Kid was the first to see it. He walked up to it, read
it, and then took off,running right across the street, probably to
go get his momb But then Pointytailand the other two came by with their

(04:55):
backpacks. Belly pointed at the sign, but Booger Girl I didn't know how
to read because she walked up toit and had no reaction. Mister Binkman
was holding back his laughter, althoughhe couldn't keep it in. Once he
saw their reactions. The rest werepulling Booger Gol away and running toward the
sidewalk. His plan had worked.Finally, it was time to celebrate,

(05:21):
and so he got the large candybar he had bought at the hardware store
and then sat in front of thetelevision to watch his game show. But
just when it was about to start, there was a knock on the door.
Mister Binkman opened the door and sawwater kid's mom standing there shouting at
him angrily a phone in her hand. She was going to record him.

(05:46):
He tried to close the door,but this angered the woman even more,
saying that she would call the newsand the police, and did she even
say the President of the United States. He managed to close the door.
The woman eventually left. What happenednext made mister Binkman think twice about his
prank. Had it been worth it? He would get phone calls from the

(06:11):
local television shows, people claiming tobe YouTubers, and curious people would stand
outside of his house. His daughtertold him not to draw any attention to
himself and to just wait it out, and that he did. Four days
after that, things had died downand had gone back to normal. But

(06:33):
one thing had changed. The kidswere no longer jumping around his front yard
and destroying his garden, and somister Binkman continued with his life, watching
television and tending to his garden inthe afternoons, fixing things up here and
there. But one day, whilehis television show was almost over, he

(06:58):
got a phone call. He walkedover to it and picked it up.
Hello, He said. After alittle while, he heard from the other
end, I'm calling about the sign. Oh no, he thought to himself,
and he was about to hang up, but that's when he heard the

(07:23):
person on the other end say desperately, wait wait. Mister Binkman waited for
him to continue without saying another word, and then from the other end he
