Red shoe? Wow!

Precious was so excited! She hadn't had this much fun since those days in the orphanage when she and her best friend, Matilda Lee Groenstein, stole the key to the utility room and ...

Well, there's no time to relive that right now. There are more important things to do. "I wonder where Matilda is now"?, wondered Precious. "I hope she parlayed her musical talent into a huge fortune."

So, anyway, there was this red shoe, and ... uh ...

Hmmm. Bummer. Lost my train of thought.

But, who cares about Precious, anyway? This story is about Muffy. Precious just kinda' happened onto the scene as an extra. She shouldn't be receiving top billing. If this keeps up, she'll be wanting to be listed earlier in the movie credits.

As soon as we find a REALLY GOOD acronym for Precious, and buy her a replacement calculator, she can go back to her business of counting conspiracy tie-ins. Yeah, right. Like that's an important job.

Now. What was Muffy doing?

Ah, yes ... she was helping Rear get to someplace where his injuries could be treated.

Precious, her sensitive ego deflated because she heard the writers' comments, took her other red shoe off and threw it at them.

"Oh, pooh!" she said, in an uncharacteristic display of emotion.

"Ouch!", said Precious, after stepping on some sharp rocks. "Remind me not to walk on gravel barefooted".
