Bear Story

Today I would love to be a bear. This was an email I received from a cousin. The writer must have shared it as part of her Sunday School lesson. Forget the reincarnation junk and smile.

"Hey ladies! Several of you asked for the bear story from my lesson yesterday, (glad you go for the spiritual stuff ), so here it is...In this life I'm a woman.
In my next life, I'd like to come back as a bear. When you're a bear, you get to hibernate. You do nothing but sleep for six months. I could deal with that.
Before you hibernate, you're supposed to eat yourself stupid. I could deal with that too.
When you're a girl bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you're sleeping and wake to partially grown, cute, cuddly cubs. I could definitely deal with that.
If you're a mama bear, everyone knows you mean business. You swat anyone who bothers your cubs. If your cubs get out of line, you swat them too. I could deal with that.
If you're a bear, your mate EXPECTS you to wake up growling. He EXPECTS that you will have hairy legs and excess body fat.
Yup---gonna be a bear."

I love this! Is it something we can pass on, or is there a kind of copyright? One of my nicknames is Grandma Bear, so I'm not surprised how enjoyable I found this.
