Mr Philip Hungry, who now has a snack?
Mm-hmm.
Much better. Your last name is not hungry. No, it's not, it's true. But let's move on. So it says, sometimes little bears' good behavior ends when they pack their pajamas and stay over with friends. One of the most interesting things about a telephone is that when it rings, you don't know who's calling until you answer it. And this is very true for s for phones. Thirty years ago.
How does the story introduce the idea of privilege and responsibility?
identification and old fashioned phones you couldn't see who was calling. Okay. So, sometimes when the phone rang in the bear's tree house, it was for Papa. And Papa Bear is a furniture maker and customers often call about buying a table or chair. And we can see him answering,
yes, I think I can handle that. How soon will you need it?
And sometimes it was Grizzly Gran calling Mama about getting together for a visit. This weekend? That'll be fine, Gran. And when the call was for Brotherberry, it was usually cousin Freddy with a question about homework. The fifth problem? I got six and a half. What'd you get? But when it was for Sister Bear, it was almost always her best friend, Lizzie Bruin. It's for you, sister. It's Lizzie, says Mamma as she hands her the phone. And Lizzie almost always had some big idea. a tea party for their stuffed animals, going to the attic and getting dressed up in grown-ups' clothes, or organizing a sorority and using Farmer Ben's old chicken coop as a clubhouse, with permission, of course. There the girls are asking for permission and Farmer Ben says, It's okay with me, but I think I should warn ya.
Because it's full of chickens and it's Smells bad. And the girls run out screaming. But today Lizzie was calling with her best idea yet. A slumber party? Tonight? At your house? A great idea said Sister. Just a few of my dearest friends. Lizzie continued. You, of course, and Anna, Millie, and Queenie bring your sleeping bag. And would you bring your tape player? Anna and Millie are bringing tapes. And Queenie's going to teach us the latest dance steps. So Again, this story was written a long time ago. You may not know what a tape player is. Or what a tape is. So allow me to tell you, you know how you flip on You're f like Spotify, right, and it plays like a playlist that you've put together or an album or something like that.
Mm-hmm. It's sort of the same thing, right? It's a way of playing music. I don't know, Mama Bear said later. You've never slept away from home before. Oh, but I have, protested Sister. At Grizzly Gramps and Grands one time for a whole week. That's different, said Mamma. Gramps and Gran are family, close family. Bruins are neighbors, argued Sister.

Close neighbors Oh please, mamma It'll be such fun!
