[...] you really had to, I’ll bet you could do a whole lot of things. You could fight off a cougar to save your child, fend off a bear with a zucchini, or never eat gluten again as long as you [...]

Your husband grew up in the arms of a mother bear. Woe betide the cougar that got between her and her cubs. He has chosen wisely, another one that protects her cubs in just the same way. In time to come it won’t be a cougar (those are easy). It will be humans who will not love or appreciate your cubs the way you do. You will balance everything you know in order to raise them properly and protect them from harm and harmful ones. Raising children is the single most important thing you will accomplish. You have our support and our love. Ted

That is freakin crazy. I’m sure (I think!?) I’d do the same thing.

If anything threatened that perfect little human being that’s with you in the photo in today’s post, and I was with him when it happened, I wouldn’t think twice about protecting him and I don’t even know him, or you. I think it’s human nature to protect small creatures. However, what I really want to tell you is that you can wash your shower curtain with other laundry, and you can put it in the dryer on low heat to dry it but you have to be careful when you take it out that you shake and straighten it right away or else it will crumple into plastic frustration.

When it comes to protecting my wife or children, I’d stare down the devil himself. The impulse to protect the ones we love overrides everything else. It’s just human nature.

Last year, Jenny (the Bloggess) wrote about protecting her daughter from wild dogs (who left their bites on Jenny instead), and I had a similar reaction. Protecting my babies? I’m there and any animal had better watch out.

It’s amazing the power of a mother when their child is hurt. You hear these stories every once in a while (mother pulling car of son etc..) but it amazes me every time.

You know, I have to say that until I had Annabelle I had a history of being quite passive when interacting with an fierce and ferocious person/being. Since becoming a mamma though, my mother bear has exerted herself . . . I have now experienced what it is to “have words” with other folks, especially when others are “not being nice” or flat-out-rude to my daughter or husband.

That said, I do wonder what caused the cougar to attack the little girl/family . . . what is going on environmentally (if at all) that might have influenced the cougar to attack humans? I am no expert, so perhaps there is no good reason at all.

Hmmm… so that time when Angus was stuck and screaming in the tube slide at the McDonald’s play structure and my eight-months-pregnant friend climbed up and got him because she knows how claustrophobic I am — that makes me not such a great Mom, right? (Not too mention that I’ve now revealed that I sometimes take my kids to Mcdonalds. I’m SO out of the Good Moms Club).

Mums have amazing strength and ferocity when provoked – you’ll find you have it in you when the time comes (hopefully it’s not a cougar attack though)
