'was he hunting bear?' 'wait. wait. ask me that again.'

So, a Cool Thing people are doing, and you can also do, for neighborhood kids stuck at home is putting teddies (the bears, not the lingerie) in their windows, so parents can take them out and go for a bear hunt. Your bears get to wave at new friends, and your neighborhood kids won't lose their damn minds.

Caution: sunlight is damaging to plush animals, as you know if you've ever seen a car's back window full of bleached beanie babies. So switch your bears out periodically. If you have other plush, an I AM A BEAR IN DISGUISE, DON'T TELL ANYONE sign will do just as well. Or THE BEAR HAS GONE ON A MISSION BUT CAN SEE YOU WAVING ON HIS PHONE.

Also, pass it on.

Aw, cute! I don't know how many kids can see in my window, and they can, there's generally a visible cat. Should I put up a "This cat is secretly a bear in disguise" sign?

That is an excellent idea. "If she is not in the window, she is on a mission for the Bear Spy Network."

A bear hunt. Cool idea.

I love this idea! If only I had one.

Draw or print out a bear and tape it to the window!
