Y'know, nowhere in humpty dumpty does it say anything about him being an egg, or egg-type creature. Think about it. Go through the whole rhyme in your head. It doesn't say anything about him being an egg. It's more just the story of a man with an awkward name falling to his death. And all the king's horses and all the king's men were weird and were like "Ah, put him back together!" I think children's book authors kinda processed this, and went like, "hmm. Come to think of it, it really is just the macabre tale of a kingdom of horses attempting to reassemble a dead man. Just make him an egg! Coo coo kachoo! Now it's just a different type of terrifying!" If it weren't for the fact that you were raised being told this story, i don't think you'd go over all that well. Y'know? The same thing with "hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle" or uh, uhh, "jack and jill sustain head injuries" or "THE BIBLE"

man & girl go out to drive under moonlight. they stop at on at a side of road. he turn to his girl and say: "baby, i love you very much"
"what is it honey?"
"our car is broken down. i think the engine is broken, ill walk and get some more fuel."
"ok. ill stay here and look after our stereo. there have been news report of steres being stolen."
"good idea. keep the doors locked no matter what. i love you sweaty"

so the guy left to get full for the car. after two hours the girl say "where is my baby, he was supposed to be back by now". then the girl here a scratching sound and a voice say "LET ME IN"

the girl doesn't do it and then after a while she goes to sleep. the next morning she wakes up and finds her boyfriend still not there. she gets out to check and man door hand hook car door.
