shaking my head
Tonight during a dinner with Boops family, I compared Matthew eating cookie to the Cookie Monster. Matthew and Boops' kid informed me that Cookie Monster is now Celery Monster and he gobbles vegetables instead of cookies.
Could it be true?
The boys said that they had heard it at school. Ofcourse, Matt also mentioned a scenario where Cookie goes to rehab and merely trades one addiction for another.
Is this another sign of the apocolypse, cause I am thinking my mother's well stocked cookie drawer was way more responsible for my own personal childhood obesity than Cookie ever could have been. I can't even imagine blaming Cookie! He's fuzzy and blue!! If anything he represented a kindred spirit, a charming, yet wider puppet who understood the power of the cookie and never ever judged. Cookie had a good heart. Besides, since he had no hole in his puppet mouth we all knew he never actually injested the cookies. He just enjoyed their sweet aroma.
It's true.

"New characters such as talking aubergines and carrots will be introduced, while guests stars such as soul singer Alicia Keys will talk about the importance of a healthy lifestyle."
Yikes!

I wish I had no hole in my puppet mouth.
That is really great that they are being conscientious about the messages they are sending kids about healthy eating! I'm really impressed!

I think it's rediculous. I grew up loving Cookie and I don't think cookies are for breakfast lunch and dinner. I thought he was silly, he threw them all in at the same time and they all got crushed and fell out. Every kid knows that muppets can't EAT. They're MUPPETS.
And I'm not messy because of Oscar the Grouch. He wasn't messy - he was DIRTY and lived in a garbage can. I just sometimes don't fold my clothes and put them away. But I don't blame that on Oscar (Maybe I should...???) =)
