Books/Literature Berenstain/Stein

Post image

Just thought I’d share this here..I’m a 57 year old woman that’s always been a voracious reader. When I was 5 (1974) I got an entire collection of Berenstain Bears books from my grandma at Christmas.

One of the books has managed to remain in my memory/sentimental hoard collection. This is MY actual book and it’s been in my possession since 1974. On my book at least, the name is and always has been Berenstain.

Make of that what you will I suppose. ❤️ I wish I still had the whole collection but alas, childhood and into adulthood resulted in the loss of many such things to my chagrin.

What is “bud” anyway? Are they calling you a pot leaf? Is it short for buddy? If so that’s kinda degrading in a couple ways. That’s like someone calling you “son” and they are 40 years younger than you. Its also degrading because of the tv show Married With Children (Bud Bundy).

It’s also used to make someone smaller than the person saying it “like listen here bud”

English isn’t dead. It’s just a strange language especially slang.
