Would any grown woman want a teddy bear for Valentines Day?

No Hummels were different. When my parents were young in the later 40's early 50's they could get hummels at the five and dime. Every mother got a hummel for mother's day, her birthday, and any other holiday where gifts are given. I have one my father bought for my grandmother when he was a small boy.

And at least Hummels could be "accidentally" broken if not wanted. Heh heh. No such luck with tacky teddy bears!

If I got a teddy bear I would rub a little raw meat on it and leave it where the dog could "accidently" get a hold of it.

Now . . . if the teddy bear came in the from of a Strip-o-Gram, then I'd be Ok with that.

A teddy bear is not the kind of toy I'd hope for...

Hell, no. Unless it had a beautiful necklace around its neck, bracelet on its arm, or was holding an envelope with tickets for a vacation. You get the idea!

Absolutely not. Anyone see the SNL skit a couple of years ago about teddy bear gifts? It was hilarious.

No. Ick. I would seriously question whether my husband had been body-snatched. Beautiful flowers, though (instead of the Safeway variety) would be nice for a change.

Heck, I would be happy with the Safeway flowers.

I would not want a teddy bear now, but I love buying stuffed animals for my baby. I KNOW they will just wind up as clutter, but some of them are so sweet and soft, and one of them might turn out to be her special lovey...

And I am also secretly looking forward to her having baby dolls so I can play with them. But not Marie Osmond dolls; those are not cute.
