i was rummaging the fridge for something to eat because i was hungry, when my mother (who was sitting at the kitchen table doing christmas things) started making these weird yipping noises. i paid her no mind until she had gone on for at least ten yips. i look over at her and she starts laughing because she was trying to get my attention. the following conversation ensued:
mother: do you remember that sesame street with the alien guys who talked to eachother like that? yip yip yip
me: um, no.
mother: well let's try it; when i say yip you answer me. yip.
me: haha no. did you know they're changing cookie monster to the carrot monster?
mother: because of all the chubby kids?
me: i think so, and bert and ernie can't live in the same room, politically incorrect, although i distinctly remember separate beds.
mother: they were roommates!
then she starts bobbing her head back and forth, doing the pigeon dance the p-i-g-e-o-n dance
i was laughing so hard i layed down on the counter for a little bit
later(as i'm blogging)
me:i'm worried no one is going to think it is funny!
mother: i don't think it is funny. i think it is normal. a lot of people talk about sesame all the time!
oh, mother.

I remember those aliens, I think they floated, and they just would look at each other and yip. I thought mom was going to say something about the Sienfield where Kramer tried to get Joe DiMaggio's attention by yipping and hitting the table, classic.
It's more like this: yip, yip, yip, yip..uhuh (repeat). Trust me, a lot of people talk about Sesame. Well, maybe it's just a lot of Harrisons. And, I can totally do the p-p-pigeon.
I totally remember those aliens! That was definately children's television at it's finest. lol
Ha ha I love hearing stories about your mom.... she is crazy.
I LOVE MOM! she is so funny. You wanna know what she said to me the other day? "kendra, quit all this "dating" business. Find a man, and GET MARRIED!" Well, my bad. Why didn't I think of that?? Mom is the best
I seem to remember that it was more like "yup" not "yip" but regardless, mom is right, many many cool people talk about sesame all the time!
Much weirder than I remembered.
I think it's hillarious!!! And an FYI...no babies. No way. Just a dog. That's all I can handle!
I love your mother. She sounds just as crazy as mine.
