@SW-User 🤣🤣 Pooh would have gotten that point across more subtly, that would have made kids giggle and adults say exactly that. There is a reason that there has been a dozen or so books written diving into the philosophic underpinnings of Pooh, written by a leading pacifist after his experiences as a foot soldier in WWI.
