Hello.  I'm a reporter for the Times Herald-NotePad
We are here with the Bears' family and it's
Valentine's Day.  I'm gonna record the conversations
around here on a typical Valentine's Day.  
As a reporter, for a story I need to ask the...  


Let's listen in...
TED: Honey? I brought you these flowers my dear. Happy Valentine's Day. TEDDI: Oh, how lovely! I'll just put them in a vase and place them on the table here for display! This is for you.... TED: Great! A new tie. And polka dot...fabulous. In fact, I'll wear it now. How's it look, Junior? Looks great, Pa!
TEDDI:  So, Love, what plans do you have for us today?
TED:    Well, how 'bout this?  We could go over
        the river and through the wood to visit Gramma's  
        & Red Riding Hood.  And then.....
TEDDI:  Hmmmmmm, are you sure you wanna do that?  It'll take
        up most of the day just getting there through the 
        wood.  Then ya gotta come back in the dark.
TED:    Ya, s'pose you're right.  How 'bout...
        that thing where the sky meets the land?  It's close.  
        That pretty thing? That arch? 
TEDDI:  That arch is a rainbow, dear...with a pot of 
        gold at the end.  But, we've chased after that and find 
        no treasure...besides, those funny little red 
        bearded men lurking around, all dressed in green, are 
        kinda weird, that's something we do in March.  Or are
        you talkin' 'bout Micki D's club?
Wait..fries're good. 

TED:    Ah, rainbow room..okay, right.  Then, what do you think 
        of visiting ol' Jack Frost down the lane?  
TEDDI:  Nah, he's too cold, not friendly.  Anyway, we were
        just over there last month, and one time in December,
        remember?  Ol' man Winter was there too, along with
        some silly fat old man in a red suit.  When he
        laughed, I got hungry.  Reminded me of jelly!
TED:    What would you like to do then, my sweets?
TEDDI:  It is a day of romance, let's go out to dine!
TED:    'K...where?  Oh, I know!  Goldie's is good!  Always
        get good service there.  The porridge is real tasty.  
        Whatcha think?  Sound good?
TEDDI:  Porridge is too hot you always say.  And, I think 
        it's too cold.  Junior is the only one that 
        really likes it. He thinks it's just right.  Let's 
        go some place else.
 Do I getta go too, Ma?  

TED:    ACRE WOOD, in town?  On 100 Street?
TEDDI:  Mmmmmmmm, they do have lucious honey there for
        our biscuits!  But, never enough.  Always gotta ask
        for more, and that Robin guy...he acts like it's 
        a sin to serve more, even if I do ask kindly.  
        And those two small brown eyes peeking through those 
        swinging kitchen door portals..I bet that's ol' man Poo  
        probably fearing for his precious honey.  And the 
        waiter!! Always mumblin' and has a real bad, 
        gloomy attitude.  Never changes outta his purplish 
        coat either, and that's a bother.
TED:    Well, how 'bout Blanca's?  I know it's mexican food.
        It's not too bad.  Whaddya think of there?
TEDDI:  Yummy food.  And the proprietor, she's a real
        princess.  Ya, that could be okay.  On second 
        thought Blanca has those seven dwarves sauntering 
        in and around through the dining room pretending 
        to be mariachi!  Give me a break.  They're no more 
        mariachi than I am.  And whistlin' too,  spittin' 
        mouth juices as they go.  Who do you know that 
        whistles while they work?
TED:    We could go west of town, out by Warner.
        Go to the STUDIO...that's a great diner.
 HEY!! Anybody know I'm still here?  

TEDDI:  The STUDIO is okay.  Tho, that man with the real
        long hairy nose?  He thinks he's a real super 
        genius,  but I can overlook his shortcomings.
        Nice tail tho.  *giggle*  What day is it?  On Wednesday 
        they serve French...and Pepe is the chef.  
        Personally, I think Pepe stinks.  Now Tuesday is good.  
        Elmer fixes up some real good dishes from his 
        huntin' twips.  The wabbit stew is good.  If today is 
        Monday they always have Acme & Turner there for 
        conferences.  Sunday they are not open...
        That ol' grumpy guy, Sam.  You know, the one from some
        park up in the Northwest?   Joseymite, or something 
        like that?  Well, he serves some real tough
        varmits on Saturday.  And on Thursday, it's good.
        Foghorn fries up a good, crispy batch of leghorns.  
        Let's see, Friday.  Oh yes, it's fish night.  And we
        can eat fish anytime here, fresh from the crick.  
        Still, it's Monday so it'll be full of coporate people.  
        Nah, not a good place, today, that's for sure.
TED:    WITCH's OVEN...that's open isn't it?
TEDDI:  Nope.  That place shut down when two 
        children went in there and never came back out.
        And they're still missing.  It's a wonder, huh?
TED:    I'm runnin' outta ideas.  The only other
        place that may not be full of patrons on
        Valentine's Day is the HORSEMAN's cafe.  Wanna
        go there?
TEDDI:  That place is okay! Ya, let's go there.
        No, wait a minute.  You gotta go through Sleepy
        Holler.  That's too spooky for Junior.  Let's
        wait and go there when Icabod can babysit.
Oh, man!..can Katrina babysit me?

TED:    The only other one I can think of that we
        have gone to and liked is Cindy's Bistro.  Wanna
        go there?
TEDDI:  Cindy is always spending more time flirtin'
        with all the possible "prince charmings" and 
        giving no attention to the paying patrons!
        Besides, she is always walking around with
        one shoe on and one off.  The Health Department
        should really be notified on that.  And the
        old, fat lady carrying that stick?...
        Bibbidi bobbidi boo my brown hairy ar...
Oooooo, careful Ma!

TEDDI:  I have an idea.  Let's just have a candle-lit dinner,
        and be together, snug as a bear, here.  We can make it
        romantic.  
TED:    Wonderful! *blushing*  That's why I love you.  You
        always know what to say and how to make me *shufflin' feet*
        happy.  I love you!
TEDDI:  And I you dear.
th-th-th-that's all folks!  Happy Valentine's Day Evwebudy!
