BEAR WITH ME

When our daughter and her fiancé were planning their wedding, they asked our grandson, Christopher, then six years old, to be the ring bearer at the ceremony. One day when we were discussing wedding plans, his three-year-old younger brother, Randy, piped up, “I want to be a tiger.”

Puzzled, we asked him what he meant, to which he replied, “Well, if Chris is going to be a bear, then I want to be a tiger!”

Needless to say, we had to explain that the task was actually bear-er and what that involved. We all had a good laugh about it then and many times since. Mryrna Lemay, Clairmont, Alta.
