Colby and the Not so Tall Tale of the New Magic Shoes

There once was a little boy named Colby. 

 Colby was blessed with a huge personality crammed into a 

itty bitty little body.

One day Colby's family went on a trip to a magical place called Lego Land.

Lego Land was made especially for little boys.

...but mostly for little boys OVER 40 inches tall.

Unfortunately, because of his vertical challenges, Colby was not 40 inches and could not ride most of the rides in the magical land of Legos.

 This made Colby very very sad...obviously.

But Colby's dad was a softie of the worst kind.

(Yep...had to sneak in a Chick Fil A picture somewhere.  You knew I was going to do it.)

He felt sorry for the short little Colby and bribed him to be happy with a ninja lego set.

It worked.

 Colby soon forgot his under tall woes and rode "kiddie" rides made for toddlers much younger than his almost five year old mature self.

 He had a fabulous time and wore himself out at the Lego Land Park.

But Colby's dad did not forget the sad crying short little boy and decided to grant Colby his wildest dream...height.

He drove to a nearby outlet mall and bought Colby the tallest shoes he could find.

They were Magic shoes.

And who needs to eat vegetables and meat to get taller when you have Magic shoes?

Apparently NOT Colby. 

But magic tallness comes with a price- the shoes were hideous. 

The were the kind Colby's fashion forward mother would never approve of. 

They lit up AND had characters on them.  ICK.

But they were the tallest. 

 So on the second day at Lego Land, Colby was miraculously 40 inches tall and was able to ride the rides he had always dreamed of...like the Dragon roller coaster.

Joy.

Here he is waiting (hanging) in line.

And his parents were happy because they didn't have to listen to Colby whining about not riding rides...or wanting more lego sets.

(Ok, the lego set thing is a lie.  He still whined, but the happy ending sounded so much better this way.)

And about Colby's mother...

she did INDEED wear flats to Lego Land.

She figured no one would believe her without pictorial proof.

 And this picture is included just for fun.

Colby's mother has a thing for goatees- even lego ones.

The End
