My Kid is Just Like Me

Before I had kids I didn't realize how often Sesame Street repeats, but it does.

So we're watching an episode we'd seen before, where Zoe's tutu flew off into a tree and she and Baby Bear were discussing how to recover it. S. marches up to the TV and says "get Big Bird to get it! Where's Big Bird?"

This is in fact how the story ends. I was impressed with her memory and problem solving skills.

However, as the story went on she kept saying "Where's Big Bird?" and seemed to be getting frustrated that he hadn't yet come on the scene and solved everything. She knew the answer to this problem, why didn't the people who live in the TV know it too? I was reminded of my own performace reviews when working, where I was told that I didn't "suffer fools gladly."

People are always telling me that S. looks like me. Apparently she acts like me too.
