We are the weirdos, mister.

Soccer in the Yard

Sent Outside

"MOOOOOOM mom, I am sorry. Please don't send us outside. The grass field is sure to eat us. Fine. Chewy, it looks like my 'using my outside voice' inside has gotten to mom so she is banning us to the grass fields. My advice, keep your hands to your side and if you are being taken by the grass, use the code word 'help'."

" Chewy! Keep your mouth closed. The grass fields are smarter and meaner than I thought. They'll try and make their way into your mouth and reach down your throat to your heart, because everyone knows grass doesn't have a heart. HELP, my face is getting wet...it must be their acid spit I've read about. We will be sure to melt. Why does mom want us to die like this? If we live through this, we'll tell mom we'll play the silent game and stay out of her hair."

Out came the sun and so did the ice cream!

Bored Bear

I woke up, I got up and I cleaned up but now I am bored. How about we play a game of hide-n-seek? NOT IT!

You'll never find me!

Like the sun

May the sun remind us that even if there are clouds causing darkness, it won't last forever and still, we need to rise to do our job of bringing light to this world.

Proof

"OK teacher woman, I am going to speak slowly so you won't need to ask any questions when I am done. My monster ripped up my homework. Now since I know you wouldn't believe me, I have brought him to school. He is in my backpack. Look at your own risk. He could have scabies or contagious skin tags or the Spooky Pox. That's what I thought, just back away. Thanks for believing me. You're not as old a feeble as I once thought."

Hurry Up

Could you please focus? We have 5 minutes between the last cloud coverage and the next so please, do your business.

The rains should remind us that downpours never last.

Stories by Bear

People tell a lot of stories, in fact, they can say anything they like. It doesn't mean we need to believe them. We believe the stories we retell, so if you want to be happy, retell the beautiful tales, the ones about love and luck and friendship. Be sure to tell stories with happy beginnings and happy endings. If you follow these simple rules, your lightness may lift a few others. This is the story I choose to repeat.

International Women's Day

Happy International Women's Day to all of those women who were and still are those sassy, smart, quirky, tom-boyish, fancy, quiet, obnoxious, freckled, plain-faced girls that make this world awesome!

New Pet

I don't think mom will notice you. You are small and pretty quiet. I bet you don't eat much. You look like you keep yourself pretty clean. One more human added to our family can't hurt much. Yep, I am sure mom will let me keep you.
