Except the actual story behind it is a lot more grim, and she didn't want to tell Flapjack out of fear of making him unnecessarily depressed or scared. Maybe she witnessed a shipwreck during a storm or a sea monster attack, and miraculously enough baby Flapjack somehow emerged unharmed as the sole survivor on wooden planks (or a bed of seaweed), and knowing he wouldn't be able to fend for himself, Bubbie had no choice but to take Flapjack in and raise him as her own. As the event was horrible enough to her, Flapjack asking about it made Bubbie very uncomfortable and narrowly dodged a bullet by telling him a much happier version of how she found him that leaves out the sadder parts.

[[WMG: To go with the "Bubbie murdered Flapjack's parents" theory, perhaps she really did find him adrift in the sea]]

* Possible reasons that Bubbie would be childless: She's barren, she's considered unattractive by whale standards, she's a ChristmasCake, or she has some position in whale society that prevents such things. None of these things are contradictory. Therefore, all of them are the case.

Let's face it, if Candied Island was a real island, there likely would be adventurers that, unlike K'Nuckles and Flapjack, were successful in reaching its shores and plundering its contents. So much so, that there's not one ounce of candy left for anyone else anymore.

to:

** K'nuckles isn't the ''real'' Bloo - he's one of those ripoff Bloos from the "Bloo's Brothers" episode. Someone imagined a Bloo with that nose.

Anthony Hope may have actually have been Flapjack's legal name, or Flapjack had to recieve a legal name when the trio first arrived in London.

[[WMG: Flapjack is the younger brother of [[GravityFalls Gideon]].]]
Gideon didn't want a little brother, so he sent him where no one would think to look: back in time and in the middle of nowhere in the ocean. The island of sick people found him and took him in, but he was sent away again before being found by Bubby. Alternatively, he could have wanted a brother, but their mother knew Flapjack wouldn't be safe, so she used Gideon's book to find a way to go back in time and send Flapjack away.
