Week 13, Story, Cutie Patootie and Paris Hilton

 The Elephant Girly Face , Ellen C. Babbit

Cutie Patootie and Paris Hilton

In a city far far away lived the sweetest kitty-cat there ever was. She lived in a mansion in Beverly Hills. The cat’s name was Cutie Patootie. Her owner, Paris Hilton named her that because of her sweet demeanor and white fluffy fur. Cutie Patootie was beloved by all of Paris’s friends and the celebrities who met her. Cutie Patootie never miss-behaved and people would seek her out at parties because she was such a joy to be around.

One day Cutie Patootie was napping and she awoke to heat two-men dressed in black talking. “Yes, we are going to steel all of the Hilton’s jewels… we will be so wealthy we cans start our own hotel chain hahhahahah” 

“What do we do if we run into a security guard?” Asked the other

“Kill them and be as viscous as possible, there is no room for mercy in the crime business.”

 

Cutie Patootie heard them talking and thought she should also become viscous like the crooks.

So, the next day whenever her caretaker came to get her, she mauled them in the face until they were unrecognizable. Paris was concerned but thought it was just a fluke accident, so she still had her party that night. When the guests came looking for Cutie, she growled at them and reared her teeth. Lindsey Lohan thought Cutie would be nice to her because she had known Cutie for so long, but when Lindsey picked Cutie up, she scratched her right on the money maker.

The next day Paris was distraught so she called in a Psychic to see if they could find out what was wrong with Cutie Patootie. The psychic asked if Cutie had been exposed to any evil people that could have left her chakras unbalanced. Paris remembered the thieves who attempted to rob her and mentioned them.

“Yes, the psychic says, you should have people speak kind things around Cutie Patootie the next time she is sleeping, that should do the trick”

The next day Paris had Harry Styles come over while Cutie was sleeping and he sang, “Kill with Kindness” and Cutie was never mean again.

Synopsis:

Cutie Patootie is girly face and Paris is the King.
