When the girls
were little, they used to like Winnie the Pooh shows. Now, come to think about of it,
it was me who liked it so much. I had their rooms decorated with Winnie the
Pooh borders, and their crib filled with Pooh decorations. So, naturally
they grew to like it.
We liked it to
the point that we had literally transformed the characters to each one of us in
the family. So, my fourteen year old is the “Tigger” – she is always the one with high spirit, can't stay still (speaking
of which … her piano teacher told me repeatedly in the past that she couldn’t
teach her due to the fact that she couldn’t sit still for even 5 min :-) ) We
had piglet, you guessed it! – My twelve year old, is so cuddly and cute just like a piglet. What else, right! The
Pooh bear … my good old hubby got the character all right – This was how my
twelve year old described her dad (despite
how her dad graduated with honors, always ranks the top 5% regardless which
company he works for,) “he is always slow in following our conversation. “ –
She called him, ‘the slow thinker.’ :=) (Language
is not his forte and that how Pooh character is)

Now I never
assigned one for myself since I didn't think there was any character that match me perfectly… btw.
We have ‘eeyore,’ at our household as well but it was definitely not me! I
would think that I was more like the mama kangaroo but no … the girls had to
assign me to *that* character. Totally
disagreed!
Recently I have
been not having enough sleep for at least 5 weeks now. For various reasons, I
always ended up sleeping late and waking up early. My whole schedule got screwed
up, not to mention that I am actually falling sick and all kinds of pimples
popping up in my face. Now, the most important thing is I wasn’t myself at all.
I am what you call *grumpy* -- there,
I said it! (I kind of feeling guilty as I have to admit it, toward the end of
the day, my patient ran low and I was quite cranky!)
Looking back at
the character that the girls assigned me … I have to admit it … I am more like ‘rabbit,’ now :-) –Desperately working
to get back to my old self …Sleeping earlier and get up early still!
Are you a
character based family? Tell me!

I'd suggest Christopher Robin - the character whose job it is to maintain sanity in the Hundred Acre Wood.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant idea! This is indeed thinking outside the box. Somehow when looking at the character for myself I always thought it had to be a female. I luv it! Christopher Robin, it is!
