This is for the MMTPT85 Challenge. Flat Footed Booby Ruby's brother Swoop was on his way to the Galopogos Island to bring Ruby some new shoes. She had terrible flat feet and could never wear any kind of shoe that was feminine or fashionable. But being the guy that he is he had to stop for a snack 'cause it's always about the food. He was in high hopes of catching another 42,000 pound record breaking fish (yuck....just imagine the size of that poop) and then get on his way to find some new, polka dotted shoes for Ruby. Poor Ruby...has such flat feet. Anyway...I got off Swoop there for a second. When he set down on the beach he saw this little bucket and thought maybe there could be a snack in there or at least something to use for bait to catch the 42,000 pound fish. Little did he know there was a tiny little fish in there that held the secret to how he could find Ruby some new, fashionable shoes. The little fish kept jumping in and out of the bucket saying he had the secret to how to make flat feet fit in gorgeous high heels and lovely feminine sandals. Swoop kept trying to concentrate on getting the secret from the little fish so he could go back and make Ruby's dream come true but all he could think of was yummy.....a little fish snack to hold him over until he could find the 42,000 fish. Although he had the love of a true brother for his sister Ruby and was intent on helping her find gorgeous shoes he finally succumbed and snatched the little fish into his mouth, savoring every little wiggle down his throat and taking away all chances of ever knowing the secret. Isn't that just like a man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OMGosh, Kittie! I am LOL at your story! You are so right-just like a man to think only of himself! Poor Ruby. The secret is lost forever. I could use that secret myself since I can't wear heels with out falling all over the place! Your card is adorable and as always, beautifully colored! TFS!

Hey Kittie! Whoo Hoo! You are here! Hey, I gotta tell you a secret.....When Johnny asked me to sit by him at the Premier of Alice in Wonderland, I met Tim Burton....so I have an in for for you! This story needs to become a movie......big dollar-major money making enterprise, maybe even award winning but we gotta work on that ending cuz Tim Burton deals in the magical side of things and stinkin' Swoop ate the secret! That could be a problem!
I just was giggling at your story looking at the image....the excitement of the fish in the bucket and the look on Swoops face....sorta like...duh...what to do, what to do! It's so precious and your story could not fit the image any better! Tee hee! I love you teapotters!!
