Teddies!

[deird_lj]

We all went over to my parents' house yesterday, to help clean out a lot of old stuff in the storage shed.


I had my sister approach me with a bag, and say determinedly "Okay. Decision time: keep, or throw away."

I was sitting there thinking Throw away, clearly. After all, I can't remember anything that's still stored here, and it therefore can't be that important to me.

...and then she pulled out a teddy bear.

A tiny, scruffy old teddy bear.

And I took one look at him, and remembered all about his personality, and his friendship with the other bears, and oh, there were other bears too, and all about their personalities...

Needless to say, I couldn't bear the thought of them being thrown away. They are now living in my toy box, waiting for nephews to visit and play with them.



I am sentimental and foolish. And have many bears.

My mother always told me never to throw away books, money and stuffed animals. Needless to say, I've got a ton of them up in the attic, my precious bear sits on the nightstand next to my bed, and i've got a pile more that will make it over to my otherwise very adult office sometime this year.

Well, I still have Dobbin, my stuffed horse, from age 2. Sentimental? Yes. Foolish? Nuh-uh.

You just had to say "couldn't bear the thought", didn't you. :-p

I have recently been informed that the best puns are unintentional. :)
