I have found myself texting a coworker a lot lately. We have come up with our own sort of language, tonight I was going to text him TTFN (ta ta for now, so very Tigger) and it brought something up out of my past.
My ex husband used to throw 2 insults at me: one, I was like my mother (not true) and that I'm like Eyore (ho hum). Both to me hurt and he knew it. I am very independent and can handle things on my own (unlike my mother). I don't think I'm as ho-hum as Eyore. But, both have stayed with me.
I called my coworker. I asked him if I am like Eyore. He said absolutely not and I told him that he is more like "Pooh". He asked me to never refer to him and "pooh" in the same sentence ever again, he thinks of himself more as "Tigger". After consideration I emailed him, ok, no Pooh, more like Rabbit.
Do we all want to be Tigger? Do we need a part of us that is so carefree and uneffected by our worlds that we just "bounce" throught life?
What Pooh character are you most like, and why?

I was curious (which character is considered the most curious?) and I read a little about A.A. Milne. It appears his son, Christopher (inspiring the character of "Christopher Robin") was a bit of a brat according to what I read:
In October 1952, A.A. Milne had a stroke, for the next three years he was to lead life an invalid, with the truth that his beloved son resented him for his stories and would seldom return to see his farther on his death bed.
On January 31st, 1956 Alan Alexander Milne Died.
On February 10 of that year a memorial service was held in London, that was to be the last time Christopher Milne would see his mother although she lived a further 15 years a widow.
Geez! Hope my kids never treat me like that!
There's a little bit of each character in all of us!
I like to think that I have some of the good parts from them all:)
And Gwen, you are lucky. I had a boss that called me Pooh, as in Gwennie the Pooh. I hated that.
