    I like Pepe the prawn. He’s not on the list, though.

    I’m a Grover gal myself, though Kermit was always a favorite as well. I had a great Kermit doll as a kid. He was huge, and cuddly and my sister got a hold of him and pooped on him. She was only a toddler at the time, but I still bring it up.
