Poor Papa Bear suffered an accident when a bouncy ball being thrown in the living room (ahem!!) landed under him on the floor, and the perpetrator banged into Papa as he retrieved the ball. The perpetrator did confess and was let off with a warning. This poor family has suffered many such incidents and upon close inspection one can see many scars from previous accidents. Even with relocating to a corner of the living room where no one goes (except to retrieve balls) and securing the family to the shelf, this poor family keeps getting knocked off or banged into.
I guess figurines weren’t meant to perch on the edge of the shelf.
I love this, Barbara. I didn’t know these little bears had suffered any abuse at all until I read your comment. They’re so cute. But you know, really, every single repaired spot holds a memory and that makes them all the more precious.
We have a stuffed yellow dinosaur that my husband kept during his Navy career. Our son drew on it, with black pen. I was so sure he would want to throw it out but no. It’s sitting on the top shelf of our bookcase, in the living room.
It’s National Oatmeal Month – have you had your oatmeal today?
Reminds me of all those old sitcoms like The Brady Bunch – someone always broke Mom’s favorite what have you while playing ball in the house. Hopefully you can Krazy Glue it or something.
Thanks for sharing & visiting,

bouncy balls are sooooo dangerous! I make Jackson throw them outside and then inevitably the ball bounces too far and is lost for good. I find there are always tears involved with bouncy balls!
How totally cute! I have a set of pigs that are salt and pepper shakers that have seen many accidents like your figurines! I know how it goes! Great pic for WW!!!

I love that little figurine! The little bear children are so cute! Hopefully you’ll be able to fix him with a little super glue and some love.

Oh, poor Papa Bear! He definitely needs some dolly surgery. We have nutcrackers like that–all banged up and loved all the more for it.
