When you watch PBS all the time with your kid, you have to find ways to keep yourself sane. Today's thought is:
When the time comes, how do I explain to my daughter what The Count is? Explaining to her that he's a vampire just seems kind of...wrong. She'll ask what a vampire is and that'll just open a whole new set of questions. "So he sucks the blood out of people to stay alive?"
Of course that does make me wonder...Is that why all of the people I remember being on the show are gone? The Black guy had a wife back when I was a kid. I'm sure in reality she probably died, but on the show...did the people of Sesame Street sacrifice her to The Count since she was old anyway? What happened to that deaf lady? Was he kind of like a gas pump counting the quarts of blood as he drank them to death?
I'm just going to tell her that he's a politician, maybe a Republican, and that's why he crunches the numbers so much.
