Catherine Connors is a mother, writer and recovering academic who traded the lecture hall for the playroom and discovered that university students and preschoolers have much the same attention span. She still dips her toes into academic waters by writing the occasional scholarly article about the place of motherhood in Western philosophy, but mostly now she changes diapers and wipes noses and indulges in long reflections on whether Yo Gabba Gabba is a harbinger of the decline of western civilization. Oh, and she blogs: in addition to Bad Mother blogging at BeliefNet, she is, among other things, the author of HerBadMother.com, Managing Editor of MamaPop, moderator of Her Bad Mother’s Basement, co-founder and co-editor of WeCovet, Contributing Editor at BlogHer, and (deep breath) founder of and contributor to Canada Moms Blog. And in her spare time… oh, wait. She doesn’t have spare time. But she’s okay with that.
In honor of the 40th birthday of Sesame Street, the original version of the all-time awesomest Sesame Street song EVER:
(How does one spell MAN-NA MAN-NA, anyway? MAH-NA MAH-NA? MANNA MANNA? MAH-NUH MAH-NUH?)
(MUH-NUH MUH-NUH? MUNNA MUNNA?)
(doo doo doo-doo-doo)
(MA-NA-MA-NA!)
Happy Birthday, Sesame. Thank you for the many, many hours of joy, and for the many that you’ll provide to my kids.

My kids don’t watch it these days because it just isn’t very good any more, in my opinion. But I just showed my (sick at home) almost-four-year-old this video and he was mesmerized.
“I like it!” he said.
“We can watch it because it’s silly, right?” he asked.
“Can we watch it again?” he asked when it was done.
Yes, yes we can.

My first child, my daughter, was born the same year as Sesame Street….and she and her younger brother grew up with it. An amazing show, and worth all the congratulation it gets! Happy Birthday, Sesame Street!
