Tommy Brown bear and Tell & Say

I met a little bear at a shop in COEX. Okay, I know what you're thinking, 'COEX is no zoo' What's this guy talking about?'

Well, hold onto your socks. I'm talking about a Teddy Bear. Yeah, call me crazy, but there I was in Anne's Stationary Store, you know, across from that place that has the Totoro stuff; all the Japanese toys and things.

You know Anne's. They sell special paper, household items, girly things, nick-nacks, toys, diaries, and stuffed animals, like those cute cats that looked surprised.

So this bear says to me, ''Hey, buddy, you got a girl?"

So I tell him "yeah!" I got a girl, do you have a...girl?', and I 'm thinking, 'Did I just ask a stuffed animal a question?' Good God.'

NOTICE Amber,

1. 'Tell' needs an object:

• I'll tell you something interesting...
• Let me tell you something.
• Tell Bob his fly is opened!
• Did you have something to tell me?
• And the way you usually use it Love: My boss told me I have to come earlier this month.
