The History of the Golfing Polo Bear...

It took James 2 months to kiss me.

2.full.months people.

My roommates and I could not figure this boy out.

We analyzed and analyzed.

And then one night he showed up in that gray beauty on the left.

As soon as he left my apartment I said - word for word...

"That bear may have been a deal breaker."

I hated that shirt.

At the time I had no idea that it was a Polo shirt - 

I thought it was just a random teddy.

Obviously, he redeemed himself with an adorable first kiss a few nights later.

The bear has managed to survive, despite my constant attempts to trash this raggedy ol' thing.

Most of our family and friends know how much I abhor this puppy 

and it has become quite the joke.

When James landed his new gig I pulled out the reinvented bear.

Boy was he surprised and we could not stop laughing.

No matter how odd I find this shirt -

I secretly love its history.

Welcome 2012 weird golfing Ralph Lauren bear.

As odd as you are -

I guess you can stay.
