And other stuff, too.

  • Me: You know, a long time ago, back when Great-Grandma was a little girl, there was no such thing as television.
  • Little Skov Z: (ponders for a moment) So...how did they play Wii?

‘D’ Is for Divorce: Big Feelings on Sesame Street

An article on Sesame Street’s failed attempt at a divorce story in the early 90’s, and what they’re doing now. This is such a big, important topic for some kids (my own included) and one that even now often carries too much stigma.

Not gonna lie, I got a little misty while reading it. Cause I’m a big sap (in case you hadn’t realized).

"The other night, I was walking down the stairs behind one of my daughters. I was tired, and she was goofing around, you know, like kids do, doing all this stupid stuff on the stairs. And I was thinking, Please just go down the stairs and let’s get you to bed. It’s after your bedtime. I’ve had enough for one day. And then I sort of caught myself. I snapped out of it. I was like, Dude, you should be dancing down the stairs behind her!"
