It was sooooo embarrassing the other day! Polly and Paul the Politicians  teddy bears came to visit me and wanted me to run for the  " tedate" ( it is teddy bear version of the Senate,you know! )! I felt so very honoured and it was a big privilege but I needed to decline.The Kiosk needs me more! I need to keep watch in the Kiosk and give a warming smile to everyone who comes in! 

 But...it started my teddy brain to get my brainiest brainy brains thinking. I put on my purple coloured, yellow polka dots, and green lime coloured thinking cap! If I was a teddy politician,I would campaign for :

 * Electric blankets coming in " t-size"If you don't know, that means teddy size!  There are sb (single beds) db (double beds ), qb and ks (queen bed and king size ) Sooo I think there should be t size too!

• Free teddy ambulances to take tattered teddies to the teddy hospital. This would help teddies that have lost eyes due to kids playing with them , ( it is  okay,the kids didn't swallow the eyes ) or are feeling a bit painful as a result of enthusiastic hugs by  humans, or have had an unexpected bath in the washing machine! 
• Free cheese and tomato sandwiches for all teddies! They are nutritious, calcium building, the red of tomatoes complements with blood although teddies have teddy stuffing instead, and best of all , they are yummy!
• Free dental work for teddies, because they are always smiling to cheer others up! As the saying goes,  " seeing a teddy smile each day, makes us feel hip-hip-hooray!" 
• Five free teddy-fur dry cleaning coupons each year.Teddies sometimes like to be freshened up, a little bit like going to a health resort spa venue
• Definitely put into official legislation that a Teddy Bears Picnic holiday is held every year!

I think that would cover some of my election policies! 

 I am not entering politics though. My responsibility lies at Strathalan , not in Canberra!

Until next time.
