Dancing with Bears

In my next life I wanna be a female bear.

- If 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 do that.

- If you're a bear, you birth your children (who are the size of walnuts) while you're sleeping and wake to partially grown, cut 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! I wanna be a bear.
