Sesame Street Teaches Gardening to Children

It’s sad to admit that I love Sesame Street more than my children do now. My youngest is four, and if his big brothers aren’t watching, he might indulge in a peek when an irresistible song is playing. However, all of my children dislike Elmo, and we nearly escaped mutiny when I wanted to name our new cat Ernie.
My children might have to suffer through at least one episode soon, as the show prepares to launch its 40th season with special guest Michelle Obama. This season will continue a two year theme called “My World Is Green and Growing.” Mrs. Obama will discuss the merits of growing tomatoes, lettuce, and cucumbers from seed, as she praises the health and flavor of fresh vegetables. Tape the November 10th premiere, and watch this classic program with your budding green thumbs.
