She Broke My Heart (Muhna, Muhna)

My nieces were playing with an Elmo toy, and I told Panda Bear (4) that when I was a kid, Elmo didn't exist. (And thank G-d for that!) That opened up a conversation about which characters came first, and I started telling her about how the Sesame Street Muppets are an offshoot of other Muppets. I told her about Kermit the Frog, and Miss Piggy, and how funny they are.

And she told me that if I ever gave her a DVD of The Muppet Show, she would throw it in the garbage.

How are we possibly related?

Please don't tell me she's a Dora the Explorer fan. That would make it infinitely worse!

I love how you write about your nieces. There's such a richness to your words and experiences. Genuine be your middle name.

Elmo's too, of course.

Popped by from Michele's tonight. Lots to catch up on from this past week, I see!

I have loved The Muppets since I was a kid. :) I have seasons 1 & 2 on DVD. They make me laugh.
