Teddy bears

My teddy bear was such a sweetie.  He listened to everything I said and never said a mean word back.   Willing to cuddle as long as I wanted, he also soaked up tears better than any other thing in the world.

He would pretend with me, drink endless cups of imaginary tea and engage in excursions into nearly any fantasy I came up with.

He was the perfect companion, a role model I should have based all others on -- and yet I nearly forgot about him.

You should never commit to any relationship that doesn't rival your teddy bear's.
