OMG. This is seriously the funniest thing I have seen in a long time. It reminds me of CHUCKIE instead of Ernie.

I am doing a Mr. Linky tomorrow about MISUNDERSTANDINGS at my website tomorrow and this would be great if you have the chance to participate!

SO funny.

Ernie haunts my dreams. Usually because he kind of randomly goes off in the middle of the night when his batteries are low.

But worse, Chet *loves* him. The weird voice and offending hand gestures don’t bother him in the least.

I’m kind of with Jamie. There *are* words, of course. But, uh, no words I should probably express here.

That’s funny! It is amazing what we all adjust to as “normal”.

I never knew Ernie or any of the Sesame Street Characters before having a child, so it did not bother me a bit that the Spanish Sesame Street voices were completely different than the American ones.

I am just thrilled that someone pointed me too them. Our Spanish Sesame Streets videos were the only TV/Vids/DVD’s that my child watched as a toddler & preschooler growing up in California.

They are a fantastic aid for bilingual children…especially those with monolingual parents! ;)

Since we didn’t know the difference, it did not bother us that the voices were different. We did think it was funny, the first time we heard the American English version! ;)

Perspective is everything.
