This is where I ruminate on life and the things I love the most. Cats, kids, books, yarn, music - that's my life!

Sanitizing My Past
Now this is something. Here's a NY Times article that talks about how the old Sesame Street is just not safe viewing for today's preschoolers. But what do I know, I buy my daughter candy cigarettes. Just don't call CPS on me, okay?
OMG! Next you'll discover you were a bad mother for using anti-bacterial soap! What's the world coming to. Personally, I liked that Big Bird was the only one who could see Snuffleupagus. It sort of made being crazy, er, cool.
Oh! last month Paige comes home from a day at the beach, and tells me. "We found the "funnes" candy. They were like cigarettes, and we tricks people into thinking that we were smoking." Ha! Ha! I didn't even know that they still made them. I have fond memories of their chalky, powdery tastelessness:)
My grandmother always had candy cigarettes for us. They were kinda powdery, weren't they? But we thought they were so cool. And I didn't grow up to be a smoker, so I don't think they were horrible.

I feel sorry for kids today. I LOVED Sesame Street in the late 60s. I always joke about being born before safety--I didn't realize that it was true.

Pretty funny!
