Sesame Street: The Inconvenient Questions

Recently, the kids have been watching Sesame Street. I thought this was all good. And then I am confronted with this logic:

  • Anna trying to convince me that I should sleep in her room.
    "Mommy, but Bert & Ernie have seperate beds, in the same room..."

  • "Mommy... why is Elmo all naked and red?"
    Well, Anna, Elmo is a... a... a bear. Right. And bears have fur. So, they don't need clothes.

    I mean, QED. Anyone can see that.
    Right--not exactly a scintillating response. A terrible punt, in any case. But it was late. I was just ready for everyone to go to sleep :)
    And she totally skewered me for it.

    "Well Mommy, I dress up my bears and my dogs..."

    She's got me there. For proof, I refer you to my next post.
