Love Among the Bruins

My children's heads contain fibre fill - "stuffing", if you will. But they teach me something new - about myself, or about the world - every day. Do not doubt the power of the White Stuff - very profound insights can be bear-lepathised over vast distances and across all bear-iers. Some of the world's biggest issues are being discussed around me right now: why are human-people mean to each other; why does grandpa smell funny; when will Mummy put more pictures of us up in her blog; what amazing project should Daddy work on next; when are we getting our new fish?

You promised we'd get them tomorrow.

No I didn't children, we'll discuss this later.

Obbut you promised!

No, the aquarium has to settle for a week, remember? Now please, I'm trying to write.

Obbut it's been a we-ee-eek.

No, we only got the aquarium today, now...

We'll ask Daddy then!

Good, ask Daddy... 

Understand that many of these questions will never be answered, as one of the things Bears love more than anything is Committees. Understand too that all Bears are not bears...but we'll get to all this.

I think you can see where this is heading. I shall endeavour to make it sensible, but be assured there will be other interjections...it's not that the children are rude, they're just enthusiastic...
