It's For Everyone

I've been babysitting my cousins this week, and everyone who knows me knows about my obsessions, especially my Muppet one. Sometimes people accuse me of being obsessed with Muppets, and while this is completely true, I haven't the slightest idea how they figured it out; I don't recall saying anything about Muppets to them.

But anyway, my cousin Eric (who is eight) decided to make a point to me that Muppets were for babies.

Well this is completely untrue! Muppets are for everyone! Some of their material is even more geared at adults if you ask me. Did you ever see any of their early stuff from the Ed Sullivan Show? I have a tape.

Muppet Babies may be for babies, hence the title. Though I believe even that has entertainment value for all ages. I simply adore Muppet Babies. I have a tape.

I've always felt that it was complete rubbish to say things like, "That's only for little kids" and such. Little kids are so happy most of the time, maybe the rest of us should give things for little kids a try. And whose to say that we shouldn't still enjoy the same things as we did when we were younger. I'm the same person I was when I was little. Even if people change, why can't kids and adults enjoy the same things?

Oh well, I suppose this is what one would expect from someone who prefers Nickelodeon and Discovery Kids to MTV. *Sigh*
