how my children see me

The boys were choosing which Sesame Street character they wanted to "be" at lunchtime one day, when this conversation took place:


Ben: Mom, you are Oscar the Grouch.

Me (hoping that doesn't imply what I think it does): I am who?

Ben: No, actually you can be the girl grouch who is on Sesame Street sometimes.

Me: Oh, well....

Kyle: No, mom, you are Cookie Monster!

Me: Cookie Monster? ....Okay, fair enough.
