Several years back, I traveled to IL to visit friends, and celebrate their daughter's 5th bday. We went to Build-a-Bear. I picked a Cubs uniform for the bear I built, because when my Mom moved to IL she suddenly became a HUGE Cubs fan. Mom passed away in 1995, so I kinda dressed the bear for her. Yes, I know it's silly.
Fast forward 21 years...
My next door neighbor is a super dear, sweet lady, until it's baseball season, LOL. DIEHARD Cubs fan, and she completely reminds me of my mom, so I gave that bear to her. She leaves it on her couch all year long, but when it's baseball season, she pulls it over next to her, or holds it in her lap. This morning I woke up, looked out the window, and she has signs posted all over the windows facing my house. CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!
