Uncle Bear was one of the bears I made 25 years ago for one of our children. I found him a while back in the garage, and brought him in a few days ago. Typical of how my boys were, he had dirty ears and face and was in great need of a bath.
I put him in the bathtub, and under great protest, I smeared him up with soap and gave him a thorough washing. He cried because I got soap in his eyes, and he didn't like water in his ears!
And then, the worst indignity of all was the really fast spinning ride in the washer. I guess he takes after me, and just does NOT like those scary rides!
