Sometimes we search Youtube for classic sesame street clips, things we remember and want to show the kids.  So around the house, the kids and OJ have been singing the “What’s the Name of that Song?” song.  I’d never heard it, but it’s nothing if not intriguing, so after we got the kids in bed last night, I thought of it as I pulled the computer on to my lap.  I pulled it up:

OJ came over to see what I was doing, and sat down beside me.  The big mistake was doing all this before we were sure the kids were asleep.  I heard little footsteps, and Judah, who’s famous for his “concerned” look, had the most concerned look ever.  I immediately started giggling guiltily, imagining the scenario playing out from his two year old perspective. Oh, the betrayal, to have been put sternly to bed night after night, not knowing what it was being missed out on…well, now he knows.  Mom and Dad put him to bed and then secretly watch Sesame Street.

“Guys?  What are you doing, guys?  Why are you watching kids’ Sesame Street when you’re grown ups?  Why are grown ups watching kids’ Sesame Street?”  He was pained…Ariel came running out.

“What’s going on?”

There was nothing for it, but to invite them up to finish the clip, and then put them sternly to bed AGAIN, trying to convince them there would be no more Sesame Street for ANYONE until morning.  Ha!
