Blast from my past...and present...and hopefully future

It has taken me nearly 6 years to figure this out - but I now know exactly why hubby and I belong together. Some of our friends and family who know us well would agree that we share some basic (but important) values and qualities. While we share those basic values and qualities, they would also point out that we are exact opposites in many ways which helps with that whole balancing out theory of compatibility. However, all that aside, I have recognized one key factor that has further cemented my belief that there is one person, and one person only, in this world for me.

He not only watched Sesame Street as a child, he still remembers the various funny clips, cartoons, antics, characters, etc. Sesame Street is basically Saturday Night Live for children. We still share smiles and "Oooo, remember the time..." conversations.

Most people give me blank looks when I mention something from Sesame Street. Some of them even say things like "I watched Sesame Street, but I don't remember any of it". I feel sad for them. Only two other people besides hubby have ever been able to share in my recollections.

1. My brother who watched the show religiously with me - tho his favorite part of the show was the credits at the end
2. My college roommate who is now a kindergarten teacher

So without further ado, some of my favorite Sesame Street memories, in case there are closet Sesame Street fans who read my ramblings, are as follows:

1. Don - the little guy that played the piano and could not remember the words to Row Row Row Your Boat so he repeatedly slammed his head against the keyboard crying in despair "IÂ’ll never get it, never, never never!"

2. The cartoon of the cowboy is riding his horse. The horse stops, turns to the cowboy and says "I think I am going to fall to pieces." A split second later the horse shatters into a million pieces.

3. Any and all Super Grover episodes.

4. The time Grover went to KermitÂ’s house to sell him a weather machine. Or the time Grover went to KermitÂ’s house to sell him various items like ear muffs (Kermit has no ears) and ends up selling him the fake glasses, mustache, ears and nose. Whenever Kermit and Grover were together, Kermit always had a spastic explosion moment wherein he would wildly flap his arms around in the air and scream at Grover.

5. Bert and Ernie episodes. Bert always tried to make Ernie look dumb, and Ernie always ended up looking like the smart, calm, collected one.

6. I also love the name "Mr. Snuffleupagus". I want to know two things - who came up with this and how.

7. I still count the way "The Count" counted. "One, ah ha ha. Two, ah ha ha."

Do any of you have any favorite Sesame Street memories which you would like to share?
