Michelle is tired of being quiet in the corner...

She stands up and yells

" I love Elmo from Sesame Street and I don't care who knows it!"

Feeling much better, she sits down in her purple squishy chair and stares
at the fire.

Claudia chirrups, in a voice higher than her own. "Happy tapping
with Elmo!" Elmo's tapdance routine is one of her favorite Sesame
Street segments.

"Honestly, I'm more a Grover kind of gal myself, but I like them both."

Claudia has some chocolate cake handy and offers it to Michelle and then
to the rest of the Amethons. Just because.

She then goes to dig up some cold milk to go with it.

Kandace, who also loves Elmo and Elmo's little voice, sees Claudia
searching for the milk. This reminds her of the commercial of the young
priest who has crammed a huge piece of chocolate cake in his mouth. He
has chocolate crumbs and frosting all over his mouth and teeth, and he
is wrestling with a vending machine that will not give him his milk (all
of this while the nuns are watching of course). Ha-ha. A crusade to
find the milk. Go Claudia.

Kandace, not a milk drinker unless it accompanies chocolate cake.

"Don't forget Beeker," Kandace (with a long head, a shock of red hair and

kim chuckles, seeing an opportunity to bring up an ages-old debate raging
amongst her friends.

"now, when kermit refers to 'the lovers the dreamers and me' does that
mean he is neither a lover nor a dreamer?"

"sorry if it's a misquote, i've never actually heard the song or seen the
movie."

coughing, kim goes back to her tea, still sick, but nowhere near as sick.

Those were my favorite characters on the show. Finally made it through the web
and found out that their names were Statler and Wardolf. Just a little bit of
trivia for y'all, how many of you knew that their names are the names of two of
the best hotels in NYC? That was why those names were chosen :)
