My wife was reading the last few pages of Pooh to our kids the other night and it made her cry. So I took over, and yes, yes it nearly made me cry.
\nFlat out, Pooh is one of the great tragedies. Which got us and our good pal “So-Called Bill” ruminating over how much sadder even the saddest story would be with Pooh in the lead.
\nOf Mice and Pooh<\/i>. “Do I get to take care of the bunnies? I want to take care of the bunnies.” I mean come on. What’s sadder than that?
\nFlowers for Poohgernon<\/i>. In which Pooh becomes really really smart. And then gets reduced back to being just a bear of little brain. I’m crying right now. You know? It’s amazing. I’m typing this, and I’m actually sobbing.
\nThe English Pooh<\/i>. In which Pooh is left in a cave. To die.
\nOr worst of all: Old Pooh<\/i>. In which Pooh gets rabies and, and Christopher Robin, he has to go get a shotgun and — and he — I’m sorry. I need a moment.
\nOK… Deep breath. So Old Pooh<\/i>. In which Pooh gets rabies and he starts to foam around the mouth and Charlotte, she’s just dead. And it doesn’t matter if three baby spiders stay because Charlotte’s still dead and Wilbur, he’s all alone. And then Wilbur gets a gun and shoots Pooh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
