My kids needed a TV break today, so I turned on the tube and the only appropriate kids show was Sesame St. I knew it was still on but it had been a while since we had seen it. Not only did we see the classic characters (Grover, Oscar, and Big Bird) but some of the humans characters were the same as when I was a kid over 25 years ago. I think her name was Maria. She looked great and still had that creative sparkle I would think you need to be on Sesame St.
One thing I though was hilarious, is Oscar the Grouch now has a lady-friend. Yes...believe it. I think her name was the Grouchette. I swear that's what I heard while watching dishes. At any rate, I can't believe that Oscar has a girlfriend. In today's episode she imagined she was the Grouch Princess and her parents just accepted that she was always going to be a Grouch. As much as I love my kids unconditionally, if they were a Grouch all the time, I don't know if I'd be sane. But of course, it was a kids show and so it was all cutesy. The kids loved it. I have to admit, I did too.
So next time I'm in a bad mood, I think I'll be the Princess of Grouch. Why not?
To honor this occasion, I found this great video of Oscar singing his classic song:
