Pooh Bear

Doug:

So we're running errands the other morning, it's raining a bit and I'm driving when we notice something laying in the middle of the road. We come up on it and realize its a stuffed Winnie the Pooh toy looking a bit sad and soggy laying there in the middle of the road. At this point, Sandy has a bit of a breakdown. "It's a Pooh" she cries out in a very distraught voice and starts to cry. "It's so sad," she says,"some poor little kid just lost his Pooh." I tried to calm this emotional onslaught by suggesting that maybe the kid threw him out the window. This did not help. "That's even worse," she says, "the Pooh was just abandoned out there in the road."

Luckily I was able to distract her somewhat by suggesting we go get her a snack.

Sorry Doug - I'm with Sandy - breaks my heart every time! Poor kid just wanted to see what would happen when he popped it out the window! Parents have been tearing their hair out ever since! Makes me tear up just to think about it! Moms just get it! xxxooo

Was Pooh there later. If not we can only hope it was reclaimed by it's rightful owner.

Why didn't you stop and pick it up?

Wait a minute, this is totally revisionist!!! It was in the middle of a 4 lane highway and it was raining. Even you didn't want to actually go get it. You never even brought it up.

Look, don't try to make this about my pregnant brain! I remember wanting to go get Pooh--I think you just "weren't ready to listen!"
