Probably the Dwarves’ Defamation League objected their depiction in the original German version and substituted bears for dwarves in the English version. Bears, as you know, are not well represented law suits. ;-p
My paternal grandmother was of the mind that children should neither be heard nor seen. My maternal grandmother, on the other hand, doted on us. You don’t know how we felt to be wanted so much. Unfortunately, we visited her only once a year because she lived much further away than my other grandmother.
I took a skeptical view of life when I was in the 2nd grade. I aced a spelling test but was given a grade of 99. I asked my teacher why? She responded that no one is perfect. This was a parochial school and my teacher was a nun (no pun intended)
Sounds like heaven to me because I love peace and quiet, with the one exception for listening to classical music.
