Yogi Bear and other stories


The other night, late at night, mind you, Michael and I were talking about national parks.
I told Michael there was nothing interesting in Wyoming.
He disagreed.
He asked, "What about Yellowstone?"
"Yellowstone is Wyoming?"
"YES!"
"But, then, what's that one in California?"
"Which one?"
"That one. The one that is up North."
". . .Lassen Volcanic. . .?"
"No. It starts with a Y. . .maybe. Or not. But it is a big one."
". . ."
". . ."
"Yosemite?"
"Yeah! That one!"
"That isn't up north. That is central California."
"It's north."
"What is it with all you Southern Californians? You think everything North of LA is 'Northern California.'"
"No, everything above San Diego is Northern California."
"*sigh*"
. . . a minute or two later. . .
"Wait, where does Yogi Bear live?". . ."Oh! Jellystone!" (Julie)

Except, this last bit never fully got out for about 4 minutes because I was laughing so hard before I finished the word "Jellystone" because I was thinking in my head it was an actual location, not some made-up locale for a cartoons sake.


Laughing? You're welcome.
