Love my family!

So I'm at my folks house when I got to put my dishes in the sink to clean them off when I notice my little niece’s dinner plate. It's all bright and cheerful, with a colourful sketch of a bear grinning and waving at the viewer as if to invite them to join him on a walk, wearing a backpack, a small shirt and hiking boots.
And no pants.
Was rather perturbed for some reason by the fact he wasn't wearing pants. Maybe it was the grin...
When I pointed this out to my youngest brother he just rolled his eyes and said as if he was asking for patience for dealing with the stupid people, for he-has-just-graduated-from-High-School-and-therefore-knows-everything-there-is-to-know, "Jeez, Jess. It's just Winnie the Pooh. Get over it."
That's easy for him to say. He doesn't realise that a talking Bear has figured out how to get past the 'No Shoes, No Shirt, No Service' policy at most restaurants and can now go in and eat all the customers he wants. ~_~;;

Lions and Tigers and Bears (oh MY...)

Ooookay. Thought I was the *only* person who wondered about this sort of thing... Have you ever wondered just why Tigger is so damned bouncy? If there was ever a case of ADD, man, he's it. AND he's butt-nekkid, not that it matters because he's a tiger and can get away with it (tigers are always impeccably dressed). Now, as for other half-clad children's cartoon characters, have you ever noticed how many of 'em seem to run around wearing nothing but HATS? Seriously... it's scary! Just hats. Warner Bros. is bad, but take a look at Hanna-Barbara some time..... Collars and the occasional set of cuffs play an interesting role here too. (Note to self: must someday follow through on making that 'Hannah the Barbarian' costume, consisting of a hooded cloak sewn from the pelts of many stuffed-animals (and a huge Garfield Head as the hood), a sort of Red Sonja outfit done in smurf-fur also from stuffed animals, and a necklace of Barbie heads. Much fun.)

Hm; I think I need to possibly not answer LJ entries on low blood-sugar... lunchtime! But you know, the hats thing is sort of scary...
