If The Shoe Fits
Its time once again to announce our new hubnugget wannabes. This weeks categories are Business and Employment, Technology, and Family and Parenting. So make sure you read and vote but before we get to that a fairtytale for you!
Once upon a time lived a beautiful girl named Cinderella and she had the misfortune of losing her mother when she was a child and had to put up with her evil stepmother and stepsisters who only lived to make Cinderella miserable.
Cinderella was the beautiful one compared to her sisters and was basically a slave that did all the work for everyone short of wiping their bums. She also had the unpleasant chore of cleaning the fireplace when it needed it, she would get awfully dirty and smelly from all the cinders which resulted in her being called Cinderella or sometimes even Cindersmella. But she put up with it knowing that someday her prince would come and take her away from all this.
It so happened that their was a rumor going around that their was to be a ball and the handsome prince was looking for a soul mate to share his kingdom…snap Cinderella had to get the attention of the prince but she had to make it to the ball first that the prince was having for the sole purpose of finding his bride.
The stepsisters only laughed at Cinderella when she voiced her desire to attend the ball and they made fun of her and made her cry. Cinderella ran to the attic where all her little mice friends calmed her down and managed to talk her off the ledge and she felt better. She then got the great idea to call upon her fairy godmother in order to help her get to that ball.
Calling all fairy godmothers, come in all fairy godmothers, over!
Cinderella repeated this mantra until she saw a flicker of light that got brighter and brighter as it neared and it got so bright she had to shut her eyes and wince. As Cinderella opened up her eyes again she saw a cloud of gray smoke flash across and there in her presence was the whole hub nugget team in all their glory. The whole team stood there holding wands which happened to be magic or something, they told her that her fairy godmother was on "vacation' right now and was unavailable, so the higher power had called upon the team to get Cinderella to the ball.
Ladyjane1 told Cinderella to hurry up with her requests because she was late for another engagement she said, "Cinderella I cant believe they went through the trouble of getting you to the ball, what’s the catch, you don’t look special or anything"? To which Cinderella exclaimed, “hey Lady with the attitude, this is my wish and just because my fairy godmother is on vacation doesn’t mean that you aren’t going to fulfill my wish to get to the ball; so start waving that wand and conjure me up a coach with some coachmen real quick like I want to get there before the appetizers are served“.
Patty Inglish went through the rules with Cinderella and let her know that no matter how much “fun” she’s having at this ball that when that clock strikes midnight, “party over” or suffer the consequences. So she waved her wand and said,
Your Fallen tears have called to me
So here is my sweet remedy
I know what every princess needs
For her to live life happily
With... just a wave of my magical wand
Your troubles will soon be gone
With a flick of the wrist in just
a flash
You land a prince with a bunch of cash
A beautiful dress made by mice no less
Some crystal glass pumps and almost dressed
I'll make you fancy, I'll make you great
The kind of gal a prince would date
They'll write your name on the bathroom wall... For a happy ending give Cinderella a call!!!
Before she knew what was happening Cinderella saw before her a beautiful coach and a couple of coachmen to take Cinderella to the ball. Cinderella was so happy that she was finally going to meet her prince. She had heard so much about him and especially about his bank account. If things went well Cinderella would be sitting in the lap of luxury very soon.
Cinderella rode to the ball in style and when she went into the palace all eyes were on her. She was the most beautiful girl in the room and everyone couldn’t take their eyes off of her. Cinderella looked around the room, looking for her prince when she spotted him out of the corner of her left eye, (the lazy one that droops a little) and her mouth just fell to the floor. There in front of her was the most handsome royal uniform she had ever seen but attached to it was definitely something she was not prepared to handle.
The so called handsome young prince turned out to be a balding man in his mid to late 50's with a drink in his hand, and it was obvious that he had had one too many. He was slurring his words and breathing heavily into Cinderella’s face. He smelled like a brewery and before he could say another word Cinderella thought fast and said, “oh my its getting late, I have to get out of here before my clothes turn to rags and before my coach turns into a pumpkin again"….the prince saw where this was going and interjected, “”oh come now Cinderella, its only a quarter past 8 and we have the whole night ahead of us, please stay and dance and laugh with me”!
Cinderella didn’t know how to get out of this nightmare, She finally said, “okay Mr. Prince, close your eyes and count to 10 and then I will be happy to dance with you all night”. The Prince was happy to oblige and closed his eyes and started to count but when he opened his eyes he saw Cinderella running with the speed of an Olympic runner and was gone in a flash. He ran after her but she ran like a jaguar running for its prey.
His drunkenness and his age didn’t allow him to catch up to her but to his delight he found that in her rush to get away, she had left a beautiful slipper when she changed into her Nikes before she ran away. Cinderella looked back and said, “sorry sweet prince but you arent my type, and besides Lady Gaga is on the MTV awards tonight and I got to see what she’s wearing this time". “Maybe I shall see you in another fairy tale sometime” and on that note Cinderella sped away.
Update: Cinderella was last seen on celebrity rehab recounting her tales of woe and what could’ve been that led her to drink….oh Cinderella what a tangled web you weave. Oh well if the shoe fits!
The End!!
