The Blue Bike

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. You know me. I live on Sparkle Road with my buddy, James. He's really old. He was the second Canadian to get off Noah's Ark, you know. He says he's older than dirt. That must be really old!  Oh. Wait! Chance lives with us, too. He's a newborn cubby someone left in a basket on our doorstep. He's a wee little thing. I look after Chance, too. He's a handful!

Look at us! Chance and me are on my blue bicycle with the Canada flag on it. It's raining, so we are riding the bike inside. We can go really fast on the bike. I make siren noises. Chance doesn't talk but he makes squeaky noises 'cuz he's happy. We  obey the rules. Elmer the Safety Elephant taught us the rules. We wear helmets when we ride. We watch out for cars and people, too.  We're good citizens, you know.


Oh. Wait! Did you hear that? James is hollering, "Where are my handsome bear cubs? Where are my Sons of Windsor? Where are my Princes of Ontario? That's me! Charles! That's Chance! We're handsome bear cubs. We're Sons of Windsor and Princes of Ontario! We gotta go find James so we can get our ears tickled and our noses kissed.

This is me, Charles the Bear Cub saying, "Be good citizens.  Obey the rules when you ride your bike. I know! You can ride over to our house and we can drink root beer and eat Smarties, too! Okay! Over and out!"

Transit Windsor

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. You know me. I live on Sparkle Road with my buddy, James. He's really old. He was the second Canadian to get off Noah's Ark, you know. I help him remember. This morning he forgot my name! Oh. Wait! Chance lives with us, too. He's a newborn cubby someone left in a basket on our doorstep. He's a wee little thing. I look after Chance, too. He's a handful!

Know what? We're resting. That's 'cuz we're tired. James says we're too pooped to pop. We played all day. We dug holes in the back yard and planted Smarties. When they grow we will have a Smarties tree! We rode our bikes up and down Sandwich Street and made siren sounds. We cooked lunch. We made peanut butter and licorice sandwiches on the barbecue. They're yummy and yummy is one of the four food groups in the Canada Food Guide. Then we got gummy worms from Wendy at Mac's Milk.  We ate them while we rode on the bus until we got to Jackson Park. We played some more. Now we're home and we're going to have dinner. It smells good in the kitchen. It smells like Untidy Josephs. I think we're having root beer, too. I sure hope so! I l-o-v-e root beer.


Oh. Wait! Did you hear that? James is hollering, "Where are my handsome and hungry bear cubs? Where are my Sons of Windsor? Where are my Princes of Ontario? That's me! Charles! That's Chance! We're handsome and hungry bear cubs. We're Sons of Windsor and Princes of Ontario! We gotta go find James so we can get our ears tickled and our noses kissed.

This is me, Charles the Bear Cub saying, "Be good citizens. Play outside in the sunshine. Plant Smarties so you can grow a Smarties tree. Oh! Wait! Come over to our house for dinner! We can drink root beer together! Okay! Over and out!"

Happy St. Sandwich Day!

Hi. This is me, Charles the Bear Cub. I live with on Sparkle Road with my buddy,  James.

Know what? This weekend is the Olde Sandwich Towne Festival. There's  balloons, and music and good food and face painting and I l-o-v-e the Bouncy Castle! I jumped up and down until I throwed up. Then I jumped some more!

See what I'm doing? I'm pretending I have a baby brother and he's helping me pick out ice cream at Mac's Milk. Can you see my pretend baby brother?

Wendy, the nice lady who owns the store helps me choose. She gave me a chocolate bar, too. I l-o-v-e chocolate bars. James and me ride up and down the street on our bicycles and holler, "Happy St. Sandwich Day!" to everyone. Festivals are fun. We should have festivals every day.

Okay. I gotta go.  James is hollering, "Who's a handsome bear cub? Who's a Son of Windsor? Who's a Prince of Ontario?" That's me, Charles! I will run find James and he'll tickle my ears and kiss my nose and make me laugh right out loud.

I hope we eat wallermelons today. I l-o-v-e wallermelon. Know what? If I had a baby brother, I'd take him to the festival with us. I have $8.53 in Canadian Tire money. That's a lot of money. I bet I could buy a baby brother. James just laughs at me when I tell him I want a baby brother. He says, "Fat chance, Charles. You're a handful." A handful of what? I don't know. Okay. Happy St. Sandwich Day, everybody.  Be good citizens. Come to the festival! This is me, Charles, saying 'over and out!"

My Job

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. You know me. I live on Sparkle Road with my buddy James. I look after him and keep him out of trouble.

Know what I'm doing? I'm taking out the trash. It's my job. I like to help. That's what good citizens do. Know what? Good citizens get to go swimming and feed the ducks. Good citizens get to ride bikes and climb trees. Oh. Wait! The bestest part is that good citizens get to eat wallermelons and Smarties.

I take the trash outside and throw the bag in the big blue dumpster. Then me and  James can go play. We're gonna have fun today. We can dig big holes in the back yard. Maybe we will go on a lion hunt. Yeah! I like to hunt for lions. Know what? We got water guns from Alan at the Mill Dollar Storee. Water guns will help us hunt down lions.

Oh! Wait! Did you hear that? James is hollering, "Who's a handsome bear cub? Who's a Son of Windsor? Who's a Prince of Ontario?" That's me! Charles. Okay. I gotta go get my ears tickled so I can laugh out loud. This is me, Charles the Bear Cub saying, "Be a good citizen and eat all your porridge. Hope someone tickles your ears today. Bye for now!"
