Bear Story for Beth
You know, person, it’s okay to just go for a walk.
The bear, just out of hibernation, walks across the empty six-lane highway and grabs a box of Fruit Loops...
...we were going to be the family that made blanket forts together and how neat was that going to be!
No one ape takes all of the bananas so the others have none.
Well, we didn’t want to interrupt you, because you taught us not to do that, but the waffles burned in the toaster and the house is full of smoke.”
I set the box down carefully, as if it was full of sleeping lethal bees, plus, you know, the dynamite.
"Everything looks to be in order." I walked out of the room at a gate which suggested that I might be on my way to file a report, and heard a welcomed chuckle as I rounded the corner to my desk.
