My Mister Rogers confession

[Kermit]

When I was little, I thought that Mister Rogers could really see me through the TV. He talked directly to his audience, so I just assumed he was in the TV watching me. I had to brush my hair in the morning before I would watch his show.

I had forgotten all about that until I saw the news this morning.

Along the same lines - I stopped watching Romper Room because she never said my name when she looked into the mirror thing.

She never said Snowwark either, JTB.

Ha ha ha, Kermit! I'm sad about Mr. Rogers, he was so calm and kind. "Lady Elaine Fairchild"...she was scary to me. But "X the Owl" and "Henrietta Pussycat."

p.s. was content to be safely on the other side of the screen when the trolley pulled up.

Mr. Rogers was kind of after my time, but I remember that I really thought that Sheriff John & Hobo Kelly could see me.

I also used to watch a show until the end, whether I wanted to or not, cuz I didn't want to hurt their feelings when they saw me change the channel.

(I was very young)

I got my feelings hurt by Romper room too, JTB, she never said "Katholyn" when she looked through that mirror

And she never knew it was my birthday, either

I loved Mr. Rogers and I thought he could see me, too.

When I was very young, before my parents' divorce, when the house was in an uproar (it seemed) ALL the time, he brought a real sense of peace. The calm voice of reassurance letting me know I was okay and the whole world wasn't crazy.

Oh, that's a sweet story. My DS and I used to watch his show together.

I LOVED Mr. Rogers and watched it every morning. One day on his show he was showing how to make waffles. My mom was still sleeping and my sister and I thought we would be able to make our own waffles for breakfast...after all, Mr. Rogers had just showed us how to make the. To make a long story short, we ended up making a HUGE mess in the kitchen and we didn't end up with eatable waffles

Lady Elaine Fairchild"...she was scary to me

Yeah I agree! She was kind of NASTY! Her and her crazy Museum Go Round! LOL

Wasnt there a donkey (I forget the name) who lived somewhere called "Someplace Else"- in the Land of MakeBelieve?

She scared me too!!!! I had such mixed emotions about her... she was one of the only "people" I knew who shared my first name, but she really was a scary looking puppet!!

Kermit, that is so precious!

I still have my King Friday puppet - a little puppy chewed, but still a treasure, nonetheless.
How sad I was to hear the news today....
Won't you be my neighbor?
