Boy 1 (explaining moral of story): Archers who steal ants' apples get bitten on the ankle.
Boy 2: Whaddya mean "ankle"? He was bitten on the toe!
Boy 1: Yeah, but "toe" doesn't begin with the letter 'A'!

-- Sesame Street: A Story About the Letter 'A'

Lately I find that I'm using "Yeah, but 'toe' doesn't begin with the letter 'A'!" to explain whenever I say something which isn't quite correct but sounds better than the more correct version would.

Sesame Street has been saved!

Netflix has bought world wide distribution rights. This does not mean Netflix has bought the show, in fact, it’s a way better deal than what they had with HBO MAX, which, as VOX put it, back in 2016, was “a violation of their founding principal.”

With the HBO deal, it didn’t air on PBS till MONTHS later, but with this new Netflix deal it will be SAME DAY STREAMING! #news #sesamestreet

Sesame Workshop · Sesame Street Is Coming to Netflix - Sesame WorkshopGet ready for more sunny days, brought to you by the letter “N”

LRT Glad to see Sesame Street has found a new home. And unlike HBO Max, Netflix a) actually wants kids watching (and for more than just Harry Potter) and b) is *the* biggest streaming service, and one almost everyone has. Same day airings on PBS are also good, and less "hand me down" vs HBO Max.

So, today's theme for Tune Tuesday is Mother Earth - songs about the planet, nature, etc.

Thanks @HauntedOwlbear for a neat theme.

My brain hit two songs, so I'll share them both.
