Duckily FFO & Smiles

 

Maybe you´ve seen the Stripey Tiger (and his story by Janosch) in last FFO/Smiles-post.
Well, this is Tiger´s Stripey Tiger Duck, also from the Christmas Markets years ago.
I felt they need to have each other, don´t you think so, too?

A face from the side counts for Nicole´s FFO, I hope...

And for Annie with Smiles ... this made me smile:
 
 
I grew up with the American Sesame Street series, translated to German.
My Dad watched every episode with me (I was born 1972). 
When my Brother reached Sesame-age (born 1977) we had the German version with .. oh, it was no fun anymore, poor Bro had to watch it by himself! Dad and I refused.
 
BUT! When Ingo and I came to Perth... BIG SMILES - we could and did watch the original! 
After all Elmo is always with us!
He mastered the Australian Outback!


We watched the movie  in Kalgoorlie - we were the only adults without kids, but like any adults we LOVED it! And we all gave 1000 raspberries in time, too!

 
Ernie: "Have you ever seen a movie with a bad ending?!"
Bert, in an instant: "Titanic." 
They comment the whole movie, it´s FUN!
 
Together you/we manage nearly EVERYTHING - so... SMILE!
 
Last not least, this came back on my answer from day before:
 

Short and quick, just the essential :-)

Happy Friday!

I only watched Sesame Street as an older teen/adult.

CJ Kennedy said...

the stripey duck is cute. Sesame St. first came on when I was a teen. I used to watch a little boy in the afternoon while his mother got some chores done around the house. We watched Sesame St. And then some 20 years later, I watched it again with my girlies. Thanks for some happy memories

I sometimes tried to watch Sesame Street in Paris, with French dubbing. It’s not as easy as one would think to use it to learn language as an adult. I found that unexpected. So many words that you learn as a child but really never use.

Gene, better late than never :-)

CJ, you´re welcome :-)

Mae, Sesame Street in French, funny - I would love to try it.
Though, I have to admit... the Louis de Funès movies... I had not a chance. He speaks too fast!

I used to watch Sesame Street with my kids and grandkids. We all enjoyed it.

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

I've really never seen Sesame Street since my grandparents refused to buy a TV while I was in school. Books were encouraged, not mindless TV (grin)!

LOVE the stripey ducky. Clever and cute.

We have several Elmo toys here that belonged to our children and the grandchildren still love playing with them.
Hugs,

Your post made me smile with fond memories of my kids glued to the TV watching Elmo. OMGosh, my daughter was born in 1972. Thank you so much for joining FFO. Have a great day today.

Iris Flavia said...

I´d say 1972 was a good year then ;-)
