The Story of Burglette Part 2

THE STORY OF BURGLETTE (PART 2)

Don't think, I told myself firmly, Just do it! Terrified, I slid my trembling hands into the oven mitts and reached my hands into the cradle beside me. Burglette blew a bubble at me and waved her hands happily in the air.

It only took a few seconds to get too close, however. Suddenly the baby babble stopped and Burglette opened her mouth wide and snapped at my mitts with her teeth. "OOGA!" She screamed angrily, "OOGA BOOGA BOOGA!"

I was ready for her resistance, quickly grabbing the bottle I had brought with me and shoving it into her mouth. It was just then I heard the most horrible sound. Footsteps. Behind me!

I spun around. There my father stood, a terrifyingly tall man with a musty black coat, beady eyes, and wire-rimmed glasses.

"Burglar," he said frowning, "What are you doing to your sister?"

BURGLETTE'S STORY PART 1

THE STORY OF BURGLETTE (PART I)

It was not so long ago when Burglette was born. When I visited the hospital on that fateful day I snuck into Burglette's room only to find a tiny fuzzy baby peeking out of a soft pink blanket with her mother sleeping quietly beside her. The moment was so relaxed and so... normal... that I almost reached over and patted the tiny baby's head. Gasp!

I know, dear reader, you are laughing at me, thinking how could he be so dumbfoundedly stupid? Only an hour before a poor doctor had lost three fingers, his bow-tie, one sock (note: not his shoe, which remained on his foot throughout his entire encounter with the child), and a chicken nugget he had neatly tucked into his pocket for a late afternoon snack.

Needless to say, before entering the room I had glued my socks firmly to my legs and reminded myself to keep my hands in my pockets as much as possible. I also had written five letters to the people closest to me in case I did not return from my visit to the hospital.

I walked quickly to the child's bedside, opened the bag I had been carrying, and removed two oven mitts, one doll, one baby bottle, one blanket and placed them on a table beside me. Burglette looked up at me and cooed.

"Can I do this?", I whispered to myself, "How can I steal this baby? How will I survive?"

A Letter From BURGLAR to Pesto

Click on the letter below if you cannot see it:

PESTO answers BURGLAR's letter

Dear BURGLAR,

Long ago when I was a young hamster I had a big fight with my sister. If you can believe it, my sister would stick peas in her nose and then blow them out at me! She also even took my beloved magic cards and drew big hearts on them with the name of her favorite singer scratched across them... what is a brother to do?

Although you are unscrupulous and even worse, the worst BURGLAR around, I feel the need to help you. I think our Buddies may be able to give some good advice... Buddies please tell BURGLAR what you think he should do by commenting below.

Sincerely,
PESTO

A NOTE FROM BURGLAR

New Word Filter

Hey Buddies!

Today we put in a new word filter. We are working hard to make sure that you can still have a great time talking to each other. If you find that there is a word that you can't say and you feel like it is a good word, just email a moderator and let us know. We will be adding words to the filter every day.

Here's a tip! The better you spell when you are chatting, the more chance your message will go through. We did include a lot of fun slang like LOL and BRB and stuff like that.

We will also be announcing a "Best Word Added To The Word List" contest that players can enter by emailing moderators with their word suggestions.

Have a great day Buddies!
