Bear, Otter, and the Kid (Bear, Otter, and the Kid, #1) QUOTES

1 " Otter! Otter! Otter!
Don’t lead cows to slaughter!
I love you, and I know
I should’ve told you soon-a
But you didn’t buy the dolphin-safe tuna! "

― T.J. Klune , Bear, Otter, and the Kid (Bear, Otter, and the Kid, #1)

2 " You can't just wipe away your history. "

― T.J. Klune , Bear, Otter, and the Kid (Bear, Otter, and the Kid, #1)

3 " So while I drove my little and planned his fantasy night of how I was going to give Otter the key to my soul (his words, not mine), I silently panicked and wrote lines of bad poetry. Normally, I am quite adept at writing poems and lyrics to songs I'l never sing, but this stuff was just atrocious. For example:

I love you
You love me
Thank God for that
I'm so happy

And Ty's personal favorite (which he helped me on):

Otter! Otter! Otter!
Don't lead cows to slaughter
I love you and I know
I should've told you soon-a
But you didn't buy the dolphin-safe tuna!

TY asked me if I got the hidden message in his poem. I told him it was loud and clear. "

4 " 'There are enough people out there that will be more than willing to knock you down. There's no reason for you to do it to yourself.' "

― T.J. Klune , Bear, Otter, and the Kid (Bear, Otter, and the Kid, #1)

5 " He tethered me to him, my magnetic north, while my mind went here or there. I always knew. Somehow I always knew. "

― T.J. Klune , Bear, Otter, and the Kid (Bear, Otter, and the Kid, #1)

6 " Otter. Otter. Otter,” I mutter. “Yes, Bear?” he says beautifully. “Don’t lead cows to slaughter,” I say. He arches an eyebrow. “Come again?” I take a deep breath. “I… love you and I know I should’ve told ya soon-a.” His eyes widen slightly. “Wait, what? You… me?” I shake my head. “But you didn’t buy the dolphin-safe tuna.” “Bear, what the hell? Did you just… rhyme? "

7 " Creed scowls. "Hardly. All he does now is mope like a goddamn teenage girl. Anytime I'm home, he's in his room with the door locked. I'm telling you guys, he got worked over really bad in San Diego. I thought the whole point of having a gay brother was that they were supposed to be all cool and shit. I got a defective gay. "

― T.J. Klune , Bear, Otter, and the Kid (Bear, Otter, and the Kid, #1)

8 " 'There's a seagull eating our food,' he told me, and it was the most romantic thing I'd ever heard. "

― T.J. Klune , Bear, Otter, and the Kid (Bear, Otter, and the Kid, #1)

9 " I realized that I love him pure and simple. It's not a matter of logic or function. It's a matter of my heart. "

― T.J. Klune , Bear, Otter, and the Kid (Bear, Otter, and the Kid, #1)

10 " Kid, you may be the smartest person alive, but a master of subtlety you are not. "

― T.J. Klune , Bear, Otter, and the Kid (Bear, Otter, and the Kid, #1)

11 " You've broken my heart, but it was mine to give. "

― T.J. Klune , Bear, Otter, and the Kid (Bear, Otter, and the Kid, #1)

12 " I told him God didn’t invent grocery stores. He told me that I had no proof of this, and wouldn’t I feel stupid when I died and went to heaven and saw God’s Food Mart? I told him that was a dumb name for a grocery store. He told me that I couldn’t do any better. I told him God’s grocery store was named God’s Amazing Food Emporium and that they had weekly specials on the Body Of Christ Sourdough bread loaves. He told me I was sacrilegious. I told him we weren’t any kind of religious. "

13 " He’s my brother. You don’t turn away from someone like him just because he likes dick instead of the good stuff.” I chuckle. “You certainly haven’t lost your way with words. "

― T.J. Klune , Bear, Otter, and the Kid (Bear, Otter, and the Kid, #1)

14 " The Kid told me that he thought gay people were supposed to be classy, but then he looked me up and down and said that even nice stereotypes can be a detriment to society because I obviously wasn’t classy. "

― T.J. Klune , Bear, Otter, and the Kid (Bear, Otter, and the Kid, #1)

15 " I may not be the biggest Kid in the world, and I may not be the smartest, and I may not have been around to learn everything there is to know, but I do know this: people in love do the stupidest things. "

― T.J. Klune , Bear, Otter, and the Kid (Bear, Otter, and the Kid, #1)

16 " He hesitates, then says, "You don't think Otter... gets offended by what I say?" He begins to speak faster. "I mean, I don't care who Otter sleeps with. I don't care that he's a fa- gay. I don't care that he's gay. Why would I ?" He grins thinly. "He's my brother. You don't turn away from someone like him just because he likes sick instead if the good stuff. "

17 " Don’t be difficult, Bear. It’s unattractive. "

― T.J. Klune , Bear, Otter, and the Kid (Bear, Otter, and the Kid, #1)

18 " Bear, I think having sand in your butt crack must be really uncomfortable. Maybe you should go change your clothes. You don’t want to catch sand crabs. What’s the point of getting crabs when you weren’t having any fun doing it? "

19 " I told the Kid I thought Wednesday was Latin for Satan, and that we probably shouldn't do it then because it might be bad luck. The Kid then proceeded to tell me what the word Wednesday actually means and where it came from (apparently it's Middle English for Wednes dei, the day of the English God Woden--how the hell he knows these things, I'll never know). He then said to stop being such a girl. "

20 " I can’t wait for the day when you tell me you’ve got the clap.” He cocks his head to the side. “That’s what you can’t wait for? Out of everything in the world, that’s what you can’t wait for? Bear, that’s just sad. And very, very mean of you. Just for that, if I do get the clap, I am going to pee in your mouth while you are sleeping, and then you can have the clap with me.” He starts grabbing his crotch and moaning, and I laugh and try to get away, but he presses me up against the wall. An old couple walks out of the store and stares at us. He waves at them and says, “It’s okay. We’re gay. This is my life partner, Greg. "
