AAAAA: I totally agree with you. The neurosis of this society has totally twisted parenting and childrearing into some sort of bizarre surreal life.

Groucho was my favourite because he reinforced my optimistic views. Everytime he complained, I wanted to tell him the good things of life. I also got frustrated because Big Bird was the only one to see Snuffalupagus. Cookie monster touched the hearts of every child (who didn't want to live on cookies?) and grover was my other favourite. I loved it when the two aliens repeated the phone rings and the clock ticks and tocks. But I couldn't stand Kermit's voice.
