"Rabbit" as I have hundreds of relations, rather fewer friends

I would have to be Winnie the Pooh as I just love dropping a stick over a bridge and watching for it to come out the other side. I even showed a friend who had never ever done it. (I am 62 and my friend is 82). We were in the local park at the time.

Piglet so I could have adventures with Pooh who loved to be in charge.

Tigger because he is full of fun.

I would be Winnie the Pooh and just like him I'm passing on my love of playing Pooh sticks to my grandson.

I would be Kanga the mother kangaroo - a bit like me - full of motherly advice and always offering food

Has to be "Pooh Bear" because my excuse when I get things wrong is always "I am a Bear of Very Little Brain"! (I struggled between this and Eeyore because when I read the books to my children Eeyore always had a Yorkshire accent, I am from Yorkshire and he is my favourite character-especially when he falls in the stream. I think it's because he behaves like many of the relations I remember from my childhood). But Pooh bear is much more appropriate as I wander along humming "The more it snows tiddly pom" and other half known songs!

Tigger....boing boing !

RABBIT....Rabbit is friendly, even though irritable at times. He likes rules, planning and order. He often bosses others around, but like me he cares a lot about his friends. He is portrayed as taking a pride in his garden which again is me... He hates anyone messing it up and likes to do it himself.
But nevertheless he's a cuddly character, that's loved by all and I certainly wouldn't mind being him except of course if it was rabbit pie for dinner!!!!!!!!

Tigger as I cant sit still always moving about

Dannydog1 Fri 11-Mar-16 19:10:51

Tigger - my children loved him when they were young

littlemonkeyz Fri 11-Mar-16 19:33:38

I would be Piglet because I'm such a little worrier!

NanaandGrampy Fri 11-Mar-16 19:39:54

Eeyore...... I am convinced he sounds like John Wayne on the cartoons :-)

mrsaishakhan Fri 11-Mar-16 19:41:08

Eeyore. I always felt a strong sense of sympathy for him. I wanted to snuggle him and make him happy

Elrel Fri 11-Mar-16 19:57:31

Some days I'm like Piglet, getting over-excited and squeaking a lot.
Other days I'm like Eeyore, expecting the worst and not being disappointed in my expectations.

rockychip Fri 11-Mar-16 19:57:46

I would be Piglet as he is kind and loyal to his friends.

badgermum Fri 11-Mar-16 20:17:20

I'd be Tigger always bouncing around being busy

Dormouse1940 Fri 11-Mar-16 20:40:58

By nature pessimistic and rather melancholy... so probably Eeyore I'm afraid smile
I just don't have the energy for Tigger... though I do so love honey....

Tgirl77 Fri 11-Mar-16 20:50:03

I used to be bouncy like tigger but these days I'm more like Kanga xxx

GrandmaEvie Fri 11-Mar-16 20:57:55

I would like to be Smallest of All and think that maybe I might have seen Christopher Robin's foot

cocochips Fri 11-Mar-16 21:12:07

Eeyore he is so cute and adorable

callkiki Fri 11-Mar-16 21:13:08

I would love to be Tigger and have half his energy

Kittyme1 Fri 11-Mar-16 21:34:46

It will have to be Pooh as I love honey on my toast!

MiserableMe1 Fri 11-Mar-16 21:37:12

I would be Tigger is always happy & never lets anything get him down he's amazing x

hjw2505 Fri 11-Mar-16 21:39:47

Definitely Eyore, happy in his own world, content with life's simple pleasures
