StoryTelling Sunday: Mouses don't bounce!

My sister was talking to #3 (age 3 and 11 months!) the other day about our favourite teddies.  She was telling him about mine when he looked at her.. "But why does Auntie Jayne call it Bouncy? Mouses dont bounce?" !!!!!!

Bouncy is my favourite teddy. My childhood (and adult, when the boss is not here) companion. He is a bit battered but well loved. He is so loved in fact that at the age of 14, I was beside myself with grief when he decided to go on holiday underneath my bed for 2 weeks without telling me. He is probably my most prized possession!

*This was brought to you by Sians 'Storytelling Sunday' which is now in it's 3rd year. Pop over and see what everyone else is writing and if you have a story, why not share it.*

  1. What an adorable toy/companion. You can tell how much he has been loved over the years! Cheeky thing, going away for 2 weeks without telling you, I hope he doesn't do THAT again! That little whiskery face has such character!

  9. This is a sweet story and gorgeous photograph of a much loved companion. My daughters still have their bears though one has been slept on so much we now call him 'flat teddy'.
