Dinner at Biscuits & Gravy Southern Bistro

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 look after him 'cuz he's very forgetful! 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 at Biscuits & Gravy Southern Bistro with Steve. That's a restaurant. We went there to eat after church. Church makes me hungry, you know. Church was all about Easter and Jesus. We sang a lot of songs and the we closed our eyes when we talked to God.

Steve is the chef at Biscuits & Gravy Southern Bistro. He knows how to cook all kinds of yummy food. We ate macaroni and cheese. We ate fried green tomatoes. We ate collard greens, too. They're all yummy and yummy is one of the four food groups in the Canada Food Guide. I l-o-v-e all the good food at Biscuits & Gravy Southern Bistro. They got meat loaf and chicken and everything! Steve is a good chef. Chance is so little he doesn't have any teeth. He just drinks condensed owls' milk out of his bottle.

I could be a chef, you know. I'm five. I'm very good at stirring. James says I'm the MiniSTIR of Stirring. Chance helps, too. James says he is the deputy Mini-Stir of Stirring. He's the deputy Mini-Stir 'cuz he's really little and can't do it all by himself.

There was so much food we brought it home in doggy bags. I don't know why they're called doggy bags. We're not doggies, we're bear cubs. We're handsome bear cubs. James says so.

 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! It's time to brush our teeth and say our prayers and hear our bedtime story and get tucked into beddy for the night. James will tickle our ears and kiss our noses.

This is me, Charles the Bear Cub saying, "Happy Easter everybody! Be good citizens. Then you can eat fried green tomatoes and biscuits and gravy.  Oh! Wait! Come over to our house and hunt for Easter eggs with us! Okay! Over and out!"

Brunch at Rock Bottom

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 this is Good Friday! 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? Chance and me are at Rock Bottom. That's a pub on Sandwich Street. They have brunch on weekends. I know what brunch is. It's breakfast mixed with lunch. Brunch is yummy but it's not in the Canada Food Guide. We get to eat scrambled eggs and hash brown potatoes. We get to drink orange juice. Sometimes the nice lady gives us wallermelon but she didn't have any today.  Chance doesn't have any teeth, yet. He's really tiny. He only drinks condensed owls' milk from a bottle.

Darryl and Alexandria are here with us. They're our buddies. When we're finished brunch we can all go outside and play. We can swing in the park. That's fun. Oh! We could take our space ray guns and go on a lion hunt! 

Did you hear that? Darryl 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 Darryl so we can get our ears tickled and our noses kissed and we can play in the park!

This is me, Charles the Bear Cub saying, "Be good citizens.Good citizens get to eat at Rock Bottom and go on lion hunts. Okay! We gotta go! Over and out!"

Chance's Favouritest Song

Hi. This is my baby brother, Chance. He's a newborn cubby someone left on our doorstep. I look after him. He's really tiny but he's a real handful. You know me.  I'm Charles the Bear Cub. 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 things. Today he forgot where he left his bicycle!

Chance is so little he doesn't have any teeth. He only drinks condensed owls' milk out of a bottle. He can't talk, yet. He likes to rip off his diaper and climb things. He makes little squeaky noises when he's happy and little squawky noises when he's hungry or afraid or has poo in his diaper.

Chance has a favourite song. It's He's Got the Whole World in His Hands. When Chance hears it he bounces up and down and makes squeaky noises. That's 'cuz he's really happy.

He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands
He's got the whole world in his hands

He's got the wind and the rain in his hands [Repeat 3x]
He's got the whole world in his hands

He's got the sun and the moon . . .
He's got the little bitty baby . . .
He's got you and me brother . . .
He's got everybody here . . .

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. We can get out some pots and pans and wooden spoons and sing. We're the Band of Brothers, you know.

This is Charles the Bear Cub saying, "Be good citizens! Sing out loud and make people smile. Good citizens get to eat Smarties and drink root beer and play Space Invaders. I know! Come to our house and sing with us! Over and out!"
