Pant-Cape Tuesday

Oh my goodness... I was happily reading my book when Mama said I needed to come and look at Bob T. Bear's blog. He has announced that today is Pant-cape Tuesday!  What the heck is pant-cape Tuesday, you ask? Well... stay tuned and we shall find out!

I scampered upstairs with a mission. Most little bears seem to raid the underwear drawers of their human companions... but I could tell from the look in Mama's eyes that I better keep my paws out of that drawer!

But that's OK... cause I have something else in mind... if I can just find it... (rummage-rummage)....

Ah there it is!!! Mama's new flannel pants from Christmas - she hasn't even worn these yet!

So I will break them in for her. They are super long and make a great cape!

And they have a satiny belt tie which fits perfect around my neck... ta-dah!!! Here comes Mighty Sandy...

Now... I just need one more thing... in another drawer... Where did I put that... somewhere... (mumble, mumble)...

Ta-dah!!! I've been feeling a bit low lately (honey-shortage) and Bob T. Bear says: "There's no mood so low that can't be raised by putting a pair of underpants on your head". So... here I am with my super-cape and my bear boxers on my head!

And now... I need to find a place from which to launch on my super-hero mission... Hmm... the stairs aren't going to work very well.

But... there is a shelf in the tall part of the stairwell - which is perfect. There's just enough room for a little bear to perch...

And... (gulp)... here we go!!

Whoa-hey... I'm drifting... falling... it's like a parachute!.... whoooooo....

Oooohhh... turning and twirling... this is making me dizzy!!

(Thud)... Ohhh... wow... I can't see anything... am I on terra-firma again? Whew...

That was fun! I think I did that beary well, don't you???

"Ummm... oh Hi Griz.... what did you think of my flying leap??"

"Well, Sandy... or should I say 'Grasshopper'... you have much to learn about the art of flying... or even jumping... And you are definitely NOT a parachutist. Sit down, young one!"

"OK, Griz! Teach me everything you know!"
(And Sandy listened raptly as Griz shared his experience about flying and parachuting... flannel pants do not make a good parachute apparently!)

  1. Wow.... what a great cape Sandy. Longer must be much better for getting some parachute time.

    And, I'm thinking I need to launch somewhere over something softer next time.....

  2. @BumbleVee - Thanks!! It definitely helps to pick out a soft landing spot...

    @Jerry & Ben - Thanks guys! Loved your story too. Ben has a certain Parisien flair for wearing underpants on his head!
