And then this Bear, Pooh Bear, Winnie-the-Pooh, F.O.P. (Friend of Piglet's), R.C. (Rabbit's Companion), P.D. (Pole Discoverer), E.C. and T.F. (Eeyore's Comforter and Tail-finder)--in fact, Pooh himself--said something so clever that Christopher Robin could only look at him with mouth open and eyes staring, wondering if this was really the Bear of Very Little Brain whom he had know and loved so long.

the test of my vanity

my mother got a dress that i don't so much like for free from her friend. nor do i like the color that that would mean the whole "wedding party"* wears. but, in theroy i think this is all stupid and something one should absolutely not care about, nevermind spend money on, to make "your special day**" special.

* i should stop using these words, i know...

** one more wedding related story: yesterday, i had a 2:30 bridal appointent and walked out of the store with a serously on sale and also quite nice (leaniyut daati) dress by 4. remarkable. beli ayin hara (it still needs alterations, like, err, sleeves...)
the lady who helped fit me kept saying "think to yourself, 'is this how i see myself looking on my special day?'" she said it at least three times in an hour to me, and in the robotized voice that makes it sound like she doesn't even remeber what it means (to the extent that it means anything). what a job.

"Bother!" said Pooh, as he opened it. "All that wet for nothing. What's that bit of paper doing?" He took it out and looked at it. "It's a Missage," he said to himself, "that's what it is. And that letter is a 'P,' and so is that, and so is that, and 'P' means 'Pooh,' so it's a very important Missage to me, and I can't read it. I must find Christopher Robin or Owl or Piglet, one of those Clever Readers who can read things, and they will tell me what this missage means. Only I can't swim. Bother!" Then he had an idea, and I think that for a Bear of Very Little Brain, it was a good idea. He said to himself: "If a bottle can float, then a jar can float, and if a jar floats, I can sit on the top of it, if it's a very big jar." ... "All boats have to have a name," he said, "so I shall call mine The Floating Bear." And with these words he dropped his boat into the water and jumped in after it. For a little while Pooh and The Floating Bear were uncertain as to which of them was meant to be on the top, but after trying one or two different positions, they settled down with The Floating Bear underneath and Pooh triumphantly astride it, paddling vigorously with his feet.
