Bear Life

Nuuuuhhhhhh! Is the cry of Reluctant Riser Bear as the sun peeks through the window. A kick of the well stuffed legs, a roll over, paws over the eyes. Reluctant Riser Bear is not happy as he comes unwillingly to wakefulness. Why did it have to be morning already?

Come this way they said, please wait here they said. Suddenly pulling across some tape the administrator smiled and said "Stay here out of sight, before you give all us teddies a bad name." Quarantined till further notice the teddies and bears stood forlornly. It was a bad hair day, why did it have to be worse than that? The stuffing wriggled and squirmed as they seethed with embarrassment. Their button eyes glimmered dully in the shadowy corner as they waited for their bad hair day to end.

Splitting at the seams the tummy was too round, too stuffed and starting to worry overstuffed bear. It had only been... um... well only a few chocolates.. and a couple of cake slices..some icecream, a little scoop.. a bit of custard.. a biscuit.. oh and the hot chocolate... with marshmallows, after dinner itself of course.... A soft sigh of happy chocolate haze escapes his bear lips, followed by a stuffed groan as his tummy seams complain.
