Avery has gotten into playing games on the Sesame Street website lately. She particularly favours an Elmo game and I have to say that Elmo’s voice is ranking quite closely behind Dora, the Evil Preschool Overlord, in mind-numbing irritation. And so, as I listened to Elmo’s voice the other day, I came up with some one-liners I would truly like to hear Elmo say. Here they are (and remember, you have to imagine them coming from a furry, red puppet with empty eyes, a high-pitched, yet gravelly voice, and a manically cheerful personality):
Elmo was an accident!
Elmo has two mommies!
Elmo is a nudist!
Sometimes Elmo blacks out and loses hours at a time!
Elmo is bi-polar!
Elmo says sometimes tickling is “inappropriate”!
Elmo dyes his hair! (Because of an unhealthy obsession with the colour red.)
What would you like to hear Elmo say?



My daughter used to have a sick obsession with Elmo. I’d love to hear him say any of those things.
