[John D Harris]

Here's how the story really went:

It's a sunny morning in the Big Forest and the Bear family is just
Waking up. Baby Bear goes downstairs and sits in his small chair at the
table.
He looks into his small bowl. It is empty! "Who's been eating my porridge?"
he
squeaks.

Daddy Bear arrives at the table and sits in his big chair. He looks
into his big bowl. It is also empty! "Who's been eating my porridge?" he
roars.

Mummy Bear puts her head through the serving hatch from the kitchen
and yells, "For Pete's sake, how many times do we have to go through this?

It was Mummy Bear who got up first. It was Mummy Bear who woke everybody
else in the house up. It was Mummy Bear who unloaded the dishwasher from
last night and put everything away. It was Mummy Bear who went out into the
cold early morning air to fetch the newspaper. It was Mummy Bear who set
the
table. It was Mummy Bear who put the cat out, cleaned the litter box and
filled the cat's water & food dish. And now that you've decided to come
downstairs and grace me with your presence....listen good because I'm only
going to say this one more time
.......I haven't made the @#*% porridge yet!!"
