Thirsty

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. You know me. I live on Sparkle Road with my buddy, James. He is old and forgetful. I have to look after him. 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 him, too.

Know what? We're thirsty. I'm showing Chance how to drink out of the toilet bowl. SJames says I shouldn't do that--that it's nasty. Know what? He drinks out of the milk carton. Now, that's nasty. Chance isn't very good at this. He's really little. If he falls in I hope he can swim. I can drink out of the sink in the kitchen. I have a sippy cup with Spiderman on it. Sometimes it's fun to drink out of the toilet. I can splash water and float my boats, too. Oh, no! Chance has fallen in! I'd better get him out of there and dry him off before he gets into trouble! This is me, Charles the Bear Cub saying, "Be good citizens. Learn how to swim! Over and out!"

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. I'm five, you know. I live on Sparkle Road with my buddy,James. When I was a little cubby he watched over me. Now I watch over him cuz he's old and forgetful. Today he forgot where he put the Smarties. 

Know what? This is me with my buddy, Chris. He's a student. He's studying law. How do you study law? I know the law.  James says, "Don't drink out of the toilet." That's a law. He also says, "Mind your manners at the dinner table." That's a law.

I obey or I have to sit on the Time Out Chair. I don't like the Time Out Chair. When I sit there I'm supposed to think about obeying. Good citizens obey.

Good citizens get Smarties and wallermelons. I l-o-v-e wallermellons. Oh. Wait. You know what? Chris lives with other students in a big house. They're all brothers. Eternity brothers. That means they're brothers forever.

I wish I had a little brother. I'd teach him how to ride a bike and to climb real high and the right way to eat Smarties. You know you have to eat the red ones last. Yeah. If I had a brother we would be eternity brothers. I asked  James if I could have a little brother. He laughs and hugs me, kisses my nose and says, "Fat chance, Charles. You're a wild and crazy bear cub. I've got my hands full with you!"

Okay, I gotta go. We're going out in the county to pick apples right off the trees. I l-o-v-e apples. They're yummy and that's one of the four food groups in the Canada Food Guide. We're gonna ride in a car and everything! Oh. Wait. I'd better go to the bathroom before I get in car. Okay! This is me, Charles the Bear Cub, saying 'over and out!'
