Happy 40th birthday to Sesame Street - a show that has taught millions of children, and their parents, about the alphabet, number, different cultures and languages, and so much more. I watched it with my children, and now get to see it with my grandchildren. And sometimes, I even watch it without a kid around.
I remember giggling when Big Bird was trying to convince everyone that Snuffleupagus existed. And crying when Mr. Hooper died. I still sing "Rubber Ducky" and "Ladybug Picnic", but I admit, I've never gotten The Count's laugh right - though my son has. :)
Like everything that has endured, the show has gone through many evolutions. Characters have come and gone, though some of the originals still are there. And like anyone who has been with something from the beginning, there are things I miss, new aspects I don't care for, and others that I love. One thing I do love is that Sesame Street is still there. Still teaching the alphabet and numbers and other cultures and more.
So here's to you, Sesame Street. May you continue for another 40 years... and longer.

My kids weren't hard core fans but they certainly loved the characters. The forty year birthday does make me feel a bit old. Oh, that's right. I am old!
