Shame on you Sesame Street

*Preface* This might be a lame post to you all, but it's been bugging me since I saw it, so here goes. Also, I've been wanting to do more post on how I think and stuff....

So the other day Bennett, the other littles and I were watching Sesame Street. Okay, yes I know Bennett is only one, but he loves Elmo and it gives us a little down/together time...deal with it. SO, if you watch Sesame Street you know that they have a "word of the day". Well the word of the day was "brilliant"...for those that don't know, they have a little blurb at the beginning beginning (before the opening song) that has this red monster (I don't remember his name) asking all these regular people what the word of the day means. I usually like it, people express their "opinions" on what it means and usually they are pretty right on. They then use the word throughout the show and at some point in the show they have a "popular" person that comes on and does a little spill on the word. WELL, this day, they did "brilliant" and they said it means someone is smart!!! I was seriously bugged the whole day about it. Okay not bugged enough to grab the dictionary and write a letter to Sesame Street "bugged" but, in my mind couldn't get it out of my head bugged. I was really disappointed that they used THAT and only THAT definition!!!!! It means something is BRIGHT not SMART!!!! Seriously, how SMART is a STAR!!!! Come on Sesame Street, get it right!!! I even told my kids that it means something bright (through out the whole show...since we were talking about it...) So, Ady goes, "No it doesn't Mom it says it means someone is smart!" UGH!!! Since I know better than to argue with a 4 year old about something she watched on T.V. (we all know that T.V. is much more BRILLIANT than Mom!) So, that is my soap box, I will get down now and hopefully stop thinking about it. LOL!!!!!

PS. My eyes are getting better, but not perfect yet. They dry out fast and I get headaches if I "strain" much, so I haven't been able to read (totally bugs me) and t.v. is half eyes open half eyes closed. I still can't drive comfortably, so I don't....which means I am stuck home and a bit bored at times. My doctor said everything healed great so far and that each week will get better and better and I should be 20/20 by the end of February. Crossing my fingers.
