Buddy's Dream

Buddy    (age 4 )
Phillip's little boy

Guess what, Dad.

“What?”

I got eaten by a bear. Well, I mean, I'm here so I probably only dreamt it, but it was real.

Only it never hurt.

Dad, would it hurt if a bear ate you all up? 

 “Yes.”

See, it was right here coming down the hill from our house. 
 He was waiting at this pole. He was BIG!!

He chased me and I ran but something was wrong and my legs turned funny or something and I couldn't run, only crawl like a baby, and he held me down and started to deVour me.

It didn't hurt and he wasn't mean so I asked him, are you going to eat everything?

And he said, not your ears.

I cried and I told the bear, I don't want my ears to go to waste.

He said, OK. I'll eat your ears.

And I woke up. In bed. Not down here by the pole where it happened.
