Teddy Bear Funeral
The little girl who lived in the house next door to the cemetery was fascinated by the long lines of cars and large groups of mourners that gathered there every day. She was especially drawn to the colorfully-robed priests and ministers who conducted the services, and was inspired to mimic them. So one day, the little girl dug a hole in the backyard, then ran into the house and upstairs to her bedroom where she picked up her Teddy Bear. She tenderly wrapped Teddy in a towel and walked back outside to the shallow grave. There, with a thundering voice befitting a true cleric, the little girl declared, “In the name of the Father, and of the Son…and IN THE HOLE YA GOES!”
