I was putting Maggie Anne to bed on Sunday night. We had gone to the zoo that day and were discussing all the animals we had seen. There had been a lot of bears out that day and after we talked about those, she paused and told me, "Now I scared . . . Now I scared because you talked about the bears."

She was soon satisfied that the giraffes and elephants were going to make sure that the bears stayed in their cages.
