OT:Sesame Street

[RolliePollie]

I remember the Yip Yips too! But I had no idea they were called Yip Yips.

Sesame Street is the greatest. If I ever happen across it on PBS, I'll stop and watch for a few minutes. I even have the old 70's lunch box (sadly, no Yip Yips):

I used to sing the "yip yip you, yip yip me, yip yip family" song to SKnot when he was a wee thing!

My older sister used to sing the Sesame Street songs to me all the time when I was little. She's 10 years older than me. One day, we were sitting together, (which doesn't happen very often anymore), me 30 and she was 40. We were doing a "shift" at the hospital, sitting with our terminally ill father and I just started singing the theme song. You know the one....

Sunny day. Chasing the clouds away....

And she started to laugh. We had a great time remembering how she would sing to me and we tried to think of as many Sesame Street songs we could and sang them to my dad. At one point he stirred and lovingly said "you girls are silly." It was one of the first times in a few days he woke up and may have been the last thing he ever said to either of us.

On my way to where the air is sweet.
Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street.

What and amazing memory.
