Whilst the panda bear may be my official totem animal, my similarities to the average bear are numerous enough to make a blog post out of them (plus it's a great distraction from essay writing)...
1) Bears can't run downhill. Neither can I.
2) Bears are large and hairy. Me too!
3) Bears like honey. I too, find processed bee scrapings to be quite delicious.
4) Bears get bored if you lie down and play dead, and eventually wander off. SAME HERE!
5) Whilst seemingly cuddly and slow looking, bears are actually plotting your destruction with a vicious animal cunning, striking you low and leaving you without recourse to a snappy comeback when you least expect it. On the up side, as you lie there gaping like a goldfish on the carpet, they will then get bored and wander off in search of honey.
...yanno, I still have my teddy bear. He sits on the edge of my cabinet, blinded and worn by age. He's older than me by about half a year, apparently. Most of his stuffing has been replaced with scrunched up toilet paper over the years, but I can't get rid of the old fella.
What childhood toys do you still have around?
