I am sooooo excited! I am going to a party !! Yes, yippee , it is going to be sooo much fun! Sally the Soup Serving Teddy is going to throw it. Well, actually she isn't going to really "throw" the soup at us ! That wouldn't be too nice, to have soup splattered over your teddy face and fur would it?! It would be quite messy! And if the soup was very, very hot we would get scorch or burn marks! Ouchity ouch! A soup burn is a thousand million quadrillion times more sorer than sun burn ! Sally is going to "host" a soup party , which is a much better word! But... can a hostess host a party or do they need to hostess a hosted party? I don't know! Do you know what? Sally has asked me to bring along with me packets of cup o soup from off the Kiosk shelves, that she can serve for all her guests at her party! I am going to be soooo busy collecting the packets off the shelves! Oh, don't worry, the soup shelves will be restocked overnight, so you do NOT need to worry that no soups will be there when you come to buy them! Rachel the Restocker teddy is very good friends with Heather the Kiosk buyer and she solemnly promised her that she would make sure that any soup packets that didn't return to the Kiosk after the party would be restocked by her from the teddy bear supermarket ! Yes, teddies have their own supermarket called : " t-mart " It sounds a bit like K-mart, but actually it stocks groceries just like Coles does. But... It is NOT as good as the Strathalan Kiosk! It just does not have the same extensive range, the service is not as good and.... It has a HUGE draw back. The drawback is.... me, Kiosk Ted Strath, doesn't live there , so teddies who visit there won't be met by my happy cheery face and smile! One of the soups that will be served at the party is chicken noodle soup! How yummy! But, I have always wondered how a chicken could fit into a packet of soup? And also, I thought your noodle was your head, so does that mean I would be eating the head of a chicken? No, no, I will not even think about that! And another question that has been puzzling me. What type of tomatoes are used in tomato soup? Do soup makers use hydroponic tomatoes or field varieties or perhaps truss ? Do they use Roma, or Big Red , or little cherry tomatoes or perhaps Grosse Lisse? And the big question is... when they squish the tommies, do they get tomato juice all over their clothes?! I heard that tomato juice stain is soooo hard to get off clothes and especially fur! What is the best etiquette for having soup? Do you drink it or eat it? Is it best to put it in a bowl or in a mug or a cup? My little friend Katie bear who is such a very great gardener made some delicious home made vegetable soup from veggies she had grown herself in her backyard vegie patch. She thinks that " variety is the spice of life" so sometimes she has her soup in a mug and other times has it a bowl. The other day she put her vegetable soup into a mug, and unbeknownst to her, some little pieces of carrot ended up on her nose! She went the whole day with tiny pieces of carrot attached to her face! She was very puzzled when Peter the Postman teddy called out to her whilst delivering her mail to her letter box : " hello Miss Snowman". But... later on in the day she discovered why! She did indeed look like a snow lady with a carrot for a nose ! She has now made the " executive decision" that she will always put vegie soup in a bowl, and invest in a nice mirror to check her face in after eating!
Well, I had better get ready for my soup party! I really, truly, completely, and utterly hope that I don't spill any soup on myself! Until next time, Soup-ity doup-ty oop! ( Yes, That is a new teddy soup language that I discovered the other day when I was doing linguistic research! )
