Mama Bear and Papa Bear in “Unfinished Business”

I know what I'm going to have to listen to when Sister gets home: "Gee, Mama, Lizzie has so many Bearbie dolls. She even has Cruise Ship Bearbie with outfits. Why can't I have more Bearbies than one? And that's just Lizzie."

Hmm, talking to yourself, huh? Certainly not a very good sign. You're being silly.

[sighs] You're right. I am being silly. But Sister is playing Bearbies with Lizzy again and I know exactly what's going to happen when she gets home.

Oh, what's that?

It's the same every time. She complains she doesn't have all the things her friends have. With Lizzie, it's Bearbies. With Anna, it's a phone in her bedroom. And Queenie has a TV and a phone in her room.

Hey, I don't even have a TV in my room! Hmm. But Sister does have a Bearbie and a whole lot of things her friends don't have.

I know, but she just thinks about what she doesn't have.

And I suppose it won't be as much different with Brother when he gets home from Cousin Fred's.

We'll hear all about the video games Freddy has.

Right, but he won't talk about the soccer ball or action figures he does have.

Never mind the large pile of comic books up in his room.

Nope, he won't mention those at all.

Oh, you missed a spot.

Hey! How did I end up with this job?
