This subtly brilliant Sesame Street sketch... well just watch it.



Now what lessons does this deceptively simple sketch teach?

• The order of letters in a word is important. (Probably the original idea that the writers started with.)
  
• Just because your first impulse is to think something is not true, that doesn't mean it's not true, and vice versa. Especially if you're proven wrong several times in a row.
  
• Calling to make sure something is ready before you go to pick it up in person is often a good idea.
  
• Some names are not as uncommon as you might think.
• Patience is a virtue, especially if you're the straight man (though the opposite is true if you're the funny man).
  
• If you are freaking out in a store or other public place, don't be surprised if people start thinking there's something wrong with you.
  

Six important life lessons distilled into a two and half minute sketch. That's the Sesame Street I remember.
