This one bizarre story from my fave Tim Burton. I mentioned here, in one of my comment about a toaster boy, but I was wrong. Its a microwave blender! (Yes, I forgot, sorry hehe...)

I hope i'm not against copyright thing to write down one of Mr. Burton's fiction here. I just like to share one of his glory. This story can be found in The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories book.

Robot Boy

Mr. and Mrs. Smith had a wonderful life.
They were a normal, happy husband and wife.
One day they got news that made Mr. Smith glad.
Mrs. Smith would be a mom,
which would make him the dad!
But something was wrong with their bundle of joy.
It wasn't human at all,
it was a robot boy!
He wasn't warm and cuddly
and he didn't have skin.
Instead, there was a cold, thin layer of tin.
There were wires and tubes sticking out of his head.
He just lay there and stared,
not living or dead.
The only time he seemed alive at all
was with a long extension cord
plugged into the wall.

Mrs. Smith yelled at the doctor,
"What have you done to my boy?
He's not flesh and blood,
he's aluminum alloy!"

The doctor said gently,
"What I'm going to say
will sounds pretty wild.
But you're not the father
of this strange looking child.
You see, there still is some question
about the child's gender,
but we think that its father
ia a microwave blender"

The Smiths' lives were not filled
with misery and strife.
Mrs. Smith hated her husband,
and he hated his wife.
he never forgave her unholy alliance:
a sexual encounter
with a kitchen appliance.

And Robot Boy
grew to be a young man.

Though ha was often mistaken
for a garbage can.

The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories

Love this book from the first time I saw it. Its Tim Burton gitu looch!!! Nice hard cover also tempts me…sorry but sometimes (mostly) I judge the book from its cover :p )
There are 23 stories here and the most I love is The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy for sure. Tis book has some bizarre stories but almost similar about new kids who jump to the world with strange body and really feel uninvited by their parents. Like oyster boy...a boy with oyster head, or a mom who gave birth a boy but its not human at all. It’s a robot boy. Doctor said that his father is a microwave blender!! The girl who turned into a bed is another odd thing beside toxic boy and mummy boy.

But the most I love from his book is the illustration. Superb! Very Tim Burton!
Nice book and will not waste your time :)
