I'm not saying anything unique when I say that Sesame Street was a very influential part of my childhood. It taught me about numbers and letters, of course, but much more! It taught me about birth and death. It taught me about marriage and divorce. It taught me about nutrition, nature, lady bug picnics, Spanish, Mandarin, pinball machines, race relations, subway stations, rhyming, service animals, toaster maintenance, super hero parodies, Broadway parodies, game show parodies... soooo many parodies!
But above all, it taught me this:
Puppets.
Are.
Awesome.
And because of such, here now is the first of what I hope to be many posts devoted to all the whatnots, monsters, and twiddlebugs who reside in that beloved suburb where the air is oh-so-sweet!
