BEAR ATTACK: Of the good kind. Little Oliver came by the shop today, dressed like a little bear. Just cute as the day is long. He’s got this new technique where he looks you in the eyes, and goes in for the kill gumming your chin or nose or whatever, just slippery and slobbery with drool, making little gurgle noises and really connecting you with him. Little nephew to big uncle. Face to face. Real wet. Some odd noises. Family.

This is how we hold him when he’s in that bear suit. Doesn’t really make sense. Kinda weird. Carry-on luggage.
