The cynical crayon
OK lets not oversell, my friends think that I'm funny; Is that like having your mom say you're pretty?

“Mommy why does Oscar have a heart in his mouth?” My 2 1/2 year old son after staring curiously at his baseball cap.
I remember watching this on Sesame Street when I was little. This is exactly what I do when I am trying to remember something.
Often times when I am racking my brain, trying desperately to remember things, this video pops into my head. This doesn`t help to jog my memory, but it still puts a smile on my face.
One day I will need to remember to buy a loaf of bread, a container of milk and stick of butter; And on that day I`ll have Sesame street to thank.
My kids and I love this song! Canadian singer-song writer Feist teaching kids how to count to 4. This is the perfect song for Sesame street. I dare you to watch this video and not have a smile on your face :0)
My daughter loves this song! We sing it together all the time. She gets so excited because the Muppet has hair like her.
Most of my daughter’s friends are cute little white girls with straight hair. So she doesn’t get to see other people with her hair texture very often.
Thank you Sesame Street for creating something so positive for young black girls. I wish I had this song when I was growing up.
Bedtime! :)
Thanks to your educational programming my kids have learned about numbers,letters & colours. One unexpected fringe benefit is Roscoe Orman aka Gordon.
Because of him my children call all bald men Gordon. Regardless of height,weight age or ethnicity. If you are a bald male between the age of 25-100 you will be addressed as Gordon, whether you like it or not.
To the bald man in the parking lot, sorry. I can see how two toddlers smiling,waving and calling you Gordon could be confusing.
Sorry neighbour that lives behind us, yes I know your name is Nick but the kids watch Sesame street so please play along.
Ironically,when my father shaves his head the kids still call him Grandpa. Maybe its because he wears glasses? You would think that a bald black man in his mid sixties with a moustache might throw them off. Either way thank you Sesame Street and Gordon. Going out in public is now way more fun thanks to you!
Ernie & Snuffy two of my favourite Sesame Street toys.
There is something about Ernie`s face. He looks like he is about to ask you a question. I also like the way they did Snuffy’s fur. I just wish they had given him long eyelashes.
Bedtime ZZZzzzZZZzzz
