I admit it. I'm .........



apparently everyone can find themselves in a character from A A Milne's 100 Acre wood. There are almost too many silly quizzes to test this theory, but in reality you know.

I know my daughter is Piglet, a small and nervous thing, expecting the worst and needing her hand held to face the unfamiliar.

I know that some people I have met online are Christopher Robin, smart, practical, not afraid, 'sensible'.

I know some Rabbits - all organisation with no real substance..

And of course I know some Eyeores, for whom life is one disaster after another, nothing will make them happy all is gloom.

I would love to be Kanga. She is filled with motherly good sense and cheer, loving her offspring and his friends, doing 'motherly' things like baking and giving medicine when needed. I would love my daughter to be like Roo, excited, inquisitive, afraid of nothing...but I need to be realistic

I am Owl.
"He is always happy to offer his opinions, advice, and anecdotes - whether or not they are actually wanted. Owl also enjoys telling stories about his relatives, including his aunt who laid a seagull's egg by mistake and his Uncle Robert who once survived a very blusterous day."
I think I know so much. I think I am so clever, so much more organised than anyone else. My answers are always right. because 'I KNOW!' I can recall long stories and recite them whenever the opportunity arises. I may forget I've told them before (or maybe not!) but as they are good stories I will tell them again, I never tire of the sound of my own voice (others often do)......but like Owl inside I am insecure, needy and just want to be involved. Like Owl, I can appear stuffy and 'stand offish' but I love my friends and would do anything to save them, even if I would mumble that it was silly, I would still do whatever was needed. Because like all flawed people (and cartoon characters) I am not all bad.

Find out who you are by doing the quiz here

and be sure and pop back to let me know....was the quiz accurate? be honest!

(edited to add - who knew? Josie thinks she's Eyeore! I'll be sure and keep some thistles to hand in case she gets peckish)

  1. I love it. Apparently I'm Piglet which is probably the closest to me. I quite like the idea of being Owl though!

  5. Ha! Well, well Owl. My nemesis. I swear you flew past me the other day and didn't say hello. Humph. I shall go back to wallowing in my swamp...

    P.S. I am only a LITTLE bit like Eeyore and only some of the time. Your quiz told me I was a Tigger hehe :)
