Dear Gilbert

Dear Gilbert-

Where, oh where do I begin?

For years you have been her one and only… Or 5 and only… but regardless you have been it.

Her first mate…

Her movie companion…

It seems like you have been a part of all our special memories…

And, you’ve been a GOODe Ole pal through it all… and you were even potty trained to boot!

So, it came as quite a shock that an innocent family trip to the zoo that brought home Junior the Monkey was the beginning of the end of your reign as supreme companion.

Truth be told, I have guilt-ed Puddie that the monkey would not have been able to gain a foothold in Miss Add’s heart if he had not forgotten you on that one family vacation a while back…

I mean before that time, other stuffed animals came and went, but they were never any match for you… but we shouldn’t talk about that… because it is really a sensitive subject…

I suppose you can take solace in the fact that Junior didn’t last long…

Pretty soon she replaced him with… Battie…

Now Battie seems to really have a hold of her…

I mean, we have went through Pluto…

And Princess of course…

And, while I tease that Miss Add is going to need her own SUV to start carting all these friends around…

When forced to choose, Battie is still the preferred pal…

Truth be told though, Puddie and I are very much on Team Gilbert.

Sometimes we even feel silly about how much we feel sorry for you…

The other day that Bat went missing and I was just sure Puddie’s guilt had gotten the best of him and I just knew that he… ahem… did the bat in…

And, when the Bat went missing,  who did she turn to in her time of need?

The Monkey?

The Disney Character?

The Unicorn?

No dear Gilbert, she turned to you…

Hang in there buddy, there still may be hope…

Until that day, let’s you and me remember the simpler days before bats, monkeys and the like… what do you say?

    I already love Gilbert and we’ve just only been introduced!!!  Reminds me of ‘The Velveteen Rabbit.’  Keep that Gilbert around. The others are just faux friends. 😉
