Sigh. Ok, I wasn't going to go there but ...

I'm 57. When I was a kid my older sister (+6 years) handed me down
"Teddy." He was the perfect bear. Used. Comfy. Classic! And
probably would have been recalled by the current Consumer Product Safety
Commission. Still, as a 4 or 5 year old, I just loved that bear. And
he didn't have steel balls. Actually, he didn't have any balls at all.
Hmm. Maybe HE was a SHE? Ah! Perhaps that's why I'm so tolerant of
non-traditionally-gendered folks?

Gee, I wonder what ever happened to Teddy. I'll have to ask my sister.
Perhaps she gave him to one of her kids. OH NO! I sure hope she did
and that he didn't wind up in some landfill!!! EGAD!!!

My heart!!! But, wait. I think ... yes! Time for another Jim Beam!
And if Teddy bit the dust, well, all good bears come to an end. Or, uh,
all good ends come to be bared. Or, uh, ... never mind!

Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
