Too Cute! 2/7/08

Today is the third birthday of a little girl in my daycare. This morning she was playing with one of our teddy bears who had developed a small rip in his shoulder seam and was losing some stuffing. When she first saw the stuffing, I heard her say something about "germs." She apparently had it in her mind that the stuffing bits that were escaping from the bear were "germs."

I didn't give it much thought, though, until she came up to me with a handful of stuffing, announcing, "Gina, I don't like Germans...they're yucky!"

This was disappointing news for me, because both of my grandmothers were of German descent...!

Update...the aforementioned teddy bear has received eight stitches to close his wound by the extremely competent stuffed animal emergency room surgeon-on-call, Dr. Gina.

He is expected to make a complete recovery.
