Lady Namera 2020 here, just wondering if I’m the only one.

So there I was being good not doing any wrong when, a very large bird thing on TV really caused me to pause. If you’re like me you watched very dynamic and captivating children’s shows like Captain Kangaroo, Mister Rogers, 3, 2, 1 Contact and Electric Company. These shows were educational and fun. Yet there was one show that didn’t quite set well with me because of one character. Cue in your head sinister music, duh duh duh…

Yes, I’ll say it, Big Bird ruined Sesame Street for me. I was immensely afraid of him, his beak, his voice and the fact that his timing just to me as a kid always seemed suspect. I think I even had nightmares about him. Don’t judge me! Look below, why is he about to bite or beak Gordon’s head? Yep, looks suspect to you too now. And while some may think me a bit odd, I’m not the only one who sees it. Check out: Dana Marie’s Muse and Views My Childhood Fears (danamarieintuitive.blogspot.com) and Evil Big Bird Invites Kids to Sesame Street (Drawception.com). Ok the second one is suspect but Dana’s site is legit and has the photo proof he was scary and caused other children’s nightmares.

Then there’s the creepy, spooky music from Pink Panther. While the Pink Panther himself didn’t really bother me that music messed me up. I had to listen briefly to make sure I had the version correct and I realized I still cringe at that music. Not cool.

And then there’s good old Santa Claus. Now before you think I’ve thoroughly lost it I have no latent fear of him nor of his breaking and entering homes through chimneys. Technically, we authorize him to commit crimes annually and NORAD tracks him so if the authorities really wanted to get him well there are ways. My concern is more with some of my older LKK (Reminder: Latch Key Kids) neighbors who told me during a snow day while we were making snow angels that Santa had gotten shot out of a helicopter. This is SO UNCOOL!!! Now I really should have done some more detailed investigative questioning of the informants but well I was only five or six and hadn’t learned the art of deception.

Until next time, have an amazing each day on purpose for a purpose greater than you!

Best regards,
