Picture Segment Description

SCENE 1 Telly waits for Baby Bear to return from a trip to his grandma's; he hasn't seen him in a long time. Baby Bear arrives and Telly immediately notices how long his hair has got - it comes out in one big spurt from the top of his head. Baby Bear admits that while his hair is kind of bothersome, he refuses the idea of getting a haircut as he's never needed one. He says his Papa Bear plans to take him to the barber shop, but Baby Bear makes a run for it once he shows up.

Gina says it's true, but she and Telly point out that Baby Bear is more domesticated.

To make matters worse, he waves his head around and Telly's slice of peanut-buttered bread accidentally sticks to his hair! (Telly: "Hey, you've got your hair in my peanut butter!" Baby Bear: "You've got your peanut butter in my hair!") The two struggle to get Baby Bear's hair loose, but when Papa Bear shows up again, Baby Bear makes another escape and Telly follows.
