The author of the beloved children's books about a honey-addicted bear and his Hundred Acre Wood crew named the character Winnie-the-Pooh after a teddy bear owned by his son, Christopher Robin Milne, who was the basis for the character - no big surprise here: Christopher Robin.
Christopher Robin Milne's real toy bear is on display at the New York Public Library. Who knew?
Fun fact: I gave my bridesmaids Winnie-the-Pooh figurines for being in my wedding. I cannot believe they still talk to me.
I've often thought of Winnie-the-Pooh as simply a bear with an overactive appetite and anxiety issues, but really, he was ON POINT with life lessons.
Like this one:
It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like ‘What about lunch?”
Preach, Pooh!
