An, of course, everyone knows the origin of the TEDDY BEAR, right? If not I will post in this thread.

I love some of the videos on youtube showing a Dad unexpectedly appearing at the kid's school,for example.In one the little girl just ran up to Daddy (who was in his fatigues) and started weeping quietly.I wish I had saved the URL.
Too cute
What a great dad
