Laundry

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. I live on Sparkle Road with my buddy, James. Our house is right by Sandwich Street in Olde Sandwich Towne. I look after him 'cuz he's forgetful. He forgot where we live!

Look at me! I'm riding in a laundry cart at the Mill Coin Laundry. Is it ever fun. James pushes the cart and I make the fire engine siren noise. Oh. I forgot. This is where we come to get clean clothes. I don't need clean clothes. Bear cubs don't wear clothes. We get to run around bare naked. That's a pun.

James has to wear clothes. He's not a bear cub even if he acts like one sometimes. Know what? I wear sox. I have Cat-in-the-Hat sox. They were a birthday present from Tanner and Cassidy. Tanner is a big 'ole yeller dog and Cassidy is a bunny rabbit. My birthday is on Canada Day. My sox are in the washing machine. I can run real fast in Cat-in-the-Hat sox. I bet I can run even faster when they're nice and clean.

I couldn't run fast when I was just a little cubby. James says I was a fast crawler and he used to call me Super Cub. Oh. Wait. I hear him hollering, "Who's a handsome bear cub? Who's a Son of Windsor? Who's a Prince of Ontario?" That's me, Charles! I'm a handsome bear cub. I'm a Son of Windsor! I'm a Prince of Ontario! Okay! I gotta get out of here and find James so he can tickle my ears, kiss my nose and make me laugh right out loud. Maybe he will give me some licorice. Okay! Bye for now! This is me, Charles saying, "Over and out!"

The Beach

Hi. I'm Charles the Bear Cub. You know me. I live with my buddy,  James, on Sparkle Road. I look after him 'cuz he's forgetful and old. He was the second Canadian to get off Noah's Ark. He remembers the invention of dirt. Wow! He must be really old--at least 20!

Know what? We went to Pelee Island. We went there on a BIG boat named Jiimaan. The island is a fun place to play. Look at me! I'm on the beach. The water is warm. That's because it's shallow. Did you know the water has a name? It's name is Lake Erie.

James is warm. I bet it's because he's shallow, too. Everyone is wearing swim suits except me. I get to go into the water bare naked. That's a pun. I'm five. I know what puns are. Bear cubs don't need to wear clothes--except sox--I have Cat-in-the-Hat sox. They make me run faster. I'm getting lots of sunshine. Hope I turn really brown! This is me, Charles the Bear Cub saying, "Come play on the beach with us. Don't forget your towel! Okay! Bye for now! Over and out!
