Sesame Street owes me a merchandising cut
Abby Cadabby
Abby Elliott
Sunday’s New York Times has an interesting story about the creation of a new muppet character for Sesame Street who joins the show when the new season begins Aug. 14.
They call her “Abby Cadabby.” She is a three-year-old “girly-girl,” with fair skin (OK, pink skin) and curly hair. My daughter Abby just turned four, has fair skin, curly hair and a classic “girly-girl” outlook on life.
From the photos above, it’s pretty clear the Sesame Street character is based on my daughter.
That’s cool. I think she’s great, too. Just tell Big Bird to forward our merchandising share. Make the check payable to my wife, Jennifer. The kid’s her mini-me.
