Winnie The Pooh Is Actually A Girl And Your Entire Life Is A Lie
If you forever imagined Winnie The Pooh to be a boy, then chances are you aren't alone
But it might totally shock you to know that he's a she! She's also from Canada, not England...
In a new picture book called "Finding Winnie: The True Story of the World's Most Famous Bear," we learn that Winnie is actually named after a black bear from London Zoo called Winnie, real name Winnipeg, Bustle reports. Winnipeg is Canadian!
The new book written by Lindsay Mattick, is the granddaughter of a soldier who was actually responsible for bringing IRL Winnie to England.
He bought the bear for just $20 during the First World War and they became super close, that is, until he had to leave her at the London Zoo so he could go back to being a soldier in France.
Devo.
However, Winnie gets a new BFF!!!
A young boy who always visits the zoo, Christopher Robin. Light bulb moment much?!
Guess who was Christopher's dad? Author A. A. Milne, who went on to write the Winnie books.
Shook.
