<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't know if any of you are familiar with a poem
by AA Milne about two little bears. It was one my father was forever quoting at
us as kids as it followed Good Bear and Bad Bear, who sort-of swapped
personalities.<BR>Well, I think this is happening in my house.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><BR>Rolph has been positively meek this past week.
His thefts have revolved around a couple of shoes, the odd sock and a couple of
sandwiches. <BR>But it was Clara, yes, good, sweet, well-behaved Clara, who
stole the fluffy Easter chicken off the cake which was at the back of a tall
dresser.<BR>Sure enough, she didn't steal the cake, or even lick the icing, but
she was caught with bulging jowells.<BR>I heard my youngest's incredulous voice
saying "Clara? I hope you haven't got a chicken in your mouth!" And arrived just
in time to see said chicken being guiltily dropped on the floor.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How long will it be before I hear "Clara! I hope
you haven't got a cake/pie/lasagna in your mouth".</FONT></DIV>
