Today Molly noticed the uncanny similarity between mine and Conor’s childhood bears. Teddy Edward (Con’s, left) rarely leaves Molly’s cot. Godzooky (mine, right) got his name from Godzilla’s sidekick in the 70’s cartoon, and had been hiding in a box.
When she saw Godzooky downstairs her first reaction was “Oh No! Teddy Edward!”. (What’s he doing down here without my say so?!?) The names of her cot bears are Teddy Edward, Teddy Edwin, Teddy Edgar and Belinda (!?!). She has their identification down pat, or she did, until she met Godzooky.
“Teddy Edward? Teddy Edwin? Teddy Edgar?…” Molly was floundering.
“Molly, dak jismu Godzooky. Qisu Teddy Edward imma mhux Teddy Edward. Jixxiehbu ghax kugini!” (Molly, this is Godzooky. He looks like Teddy Edward but he’s not. They’re cousins)
The explanation was accepted and Godzooky was welcomed into the fold.
It’s enough to confuse anyone as they are so alike! Miskiena Molly! Hope she is feeling better today. Inhobbok miljun, miljun, miljun Molly.
She’s still got quite a bad cold I’m afraid ma. But she’s enjoying lots of cuddles and even requested beans on toast for breakfast today and ate it all up!
I dont have a Teddy bear so If she can spare one for my retirement fund ok…..lol
