I came back from lunch today to find a box on my desk containing this guy. And yes, I did rail against cutesy teddy bears earlier this month but this is different and here’s why.
My Dad is a nurturer. He patches hole, glues pieces back together, and fills voids, whatever they might be. He doesn’t normally get me gifts like this for random holidays, but things have been rough for a while, and in ways big and small he has worked to lessen the impact, and that includes sending me this ridiculously cute bear (with chocolate!). He wants to make sure I know I’m loved and I do know it.
Also? The clothes for the bear will almost certainly fit Figaro perfectly.

Be sure Figaro knows that the spats on him were my idea. Share the hate.
And also? This was not a pink teddy bear inscribed “I wuv you” – dude is armed. Nothing says “Have a cool V-day” like packing heat.
Trasherati: I will make sure Figaro knows. And yeah, the bear rocks. If only there had really been a little toy gun in the violin case….
Somehow, the lack of pants is disturbing. (I mean, if you’re going to go to the trouble of wearing a vest and carrying a musical instrument, might you also wish to don some manner of butt covering?)
But yes, of course, it’s inestimably cute.
Victoria: Word. And your question is perfectly valid.
