My favorite memory of Sesame Street was Bert doing “the pigeon” dance. The song went…”Doin’ … wah wah…the pigeon.” Do you remember that?

My favorite memory was when my 2 older sisters and I were young, for Christmas we each got a Sesame Street Character doll. We were such huge Sesame Street fans. Anyway, my older sister got Big Bird, my middle sister got Oscar the Groucy (he was a puppet) and I got a Snuffaluffagus that his eyes batted his long lashes. My sisters tried everything they could, to switch with me and I simply wouldn’t. I think they still resent me to this day. LOL

One of my favorite Sesame Street skits was the mustache guy that always found a fly in his soup, and Grover was his waiter. So funny
