This toddler’s mousetrap costume just broke Halloween

It was Halloween night, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring… except a giant toddler-shaped mouse.

Dressing up your child as a mouse for Halloween is rather impressive.

But dressing them up as a mouse caught in a mouse trap… well, that’s just amazing.

This photo of a toddler in an ingenious mousetrap costume has been delighting the internet.

The images depicts a toddler in a cuddly grey mouse costume, embedded inside a giant mousetrap.

The costume has been cleverly concocted using a small trailer with a wooden board on top, which the child is sitting in.

The kid’s face tells a story of a thousand words. It asks: “Daddy, why did you do this to me?”

The picture was posted on Reddit by a user named hiitsjen with the caption: “The mousetrap worked too well”.

The redditor explained the “the wood is sitting over a wagon” with the child in place.

Commenters got a real kick out of the cunning costume.

One wrote: “If this rolled up to my house I would just give you the whole bowl of candy.”

Another said: “The kid doesn’t really understand what is going on, right?

“Does that mean you keep all the candy for yourself?”
