You will like the teddy bear I give you!!

Well, I'm going to sound like an old curmudgeon, but what's the deal with Build-a-Bear. Back in my day, you were given a teddy bear for a birthday or Christmas present, and that was it, that was your teddy bear. You didn't go to some fancy store and pick out your own bear, let alone outfits for you bear. And you didn't place a plastic heart inside. Kids these days think they need hipster teddy bears. I still have my teddy bear that I got when I was two, and he is as naked as the day the toy manufacturer made him. That's my rant.
