As a tv-child of the 80's, I say without any hesitation that I adore Sesame Street! I'm not an "outdoors" type of kid, so staying in was right up my alley.
On my way in to work this morning, I got tickled thinking that part of my love for NYC and their oh-so-recognizable brownstones has a little bit to do with my love for that famous street!
There are so many aspects of that show that have impacted my generation, both intellectually (and educationally) as well as culturally. Here are a few interesting things that I relate too!
- Even at 30, I have a blanket of Kermit and Miss Piggy that I would kill you over. I'm not kidding.
- Who of you CAN'T imitate The Count's laugh? I bet you all could!
- Big Bird... enough said!
- I've referred to grouchy people as "Oscar" for years.
- My first thanksgiving in NYC, Grover was one of the inflatable balloons.... I nearly cried!
- In the ninth grade, I wrote a 10 page paper on the influence of characters from Sesame Street. It was that paper that got me into Honor's English in the 10th grade.
- JM and I had a Bert & Ernie playhouse when we were little. When our house burned, the playhouse did, but B&E were tucked away in my room. I keep them in a box at my Mom's house.
- The Swedish chef... classic!
- Dr. Bunsen Honeydew & Beaker... I love them. Thinking of them makes me crave Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal.
- Sam the Eagle... quite the plush patriotist.
While these are nowhere near a complete list, I can't help but know that I'm a Sesame Street kid, and I can tell you how to get there, any day of the week.

Sesame Street debuted (SP) when I was 2 years old so I literally grew up with them and I am hoping for DVD's of the Muppet Show for Christmas!
I got to meet Bob from Sesame Street about 10 years ago & he autographed some books for my sons. He was as nice in person as you would imagine!
