LETTER PEOPLE

punkprincess by punkprincess · Dec 18, 2002 · 258 views · Journal

okay, so when i was in kindergarden, to learn the alphebet we had "letter people" each letter was represented by a person, the vowels being girls, and the consinents being boys. each letter person had their own special quality. for instance miss a always said "achoo" mr. b had lots of buttons... mr t had tall teeth...etc. at the end of the year once we learned the whole alphabet, we put on a play .... i was "miss o" (she was optomistic optomist.) whats weird about this is for the past few weeks, ive had 3 conversations about it. one with a friend who completely didnt understand the consept of letter people, and another who was in the same skool as me and also had the letter people... in which we were trying to name all of them. and i couldnt think of a couple, and the last was today... a friend of mine had the same thing in a different skool and gave me the great idea of searching for letter people online..... and i FOUND THEM!!!!!!!! each and every one of them! here are my kindergarden friends! theres actually a "letter people fan site" anyway... just thought i would share... did you guys have letter people? was i the only freak who got to be a letter person? how did you learn the alphabet?

Not to be paranoid, but is there a reason that the girls have to be vowels (the lesser number) and the boys have to be consonents (the obvious bigger number). I think this is just men trying to take over the world.

its the way it should be

reaf #3 reafOG 2002

apparently those letter people didnt help you in your spelling skills, cause your still spelling School With a sk....j/k,, Like im one to talk, but i=I made up my own language, so i dont really count

Sesame Street taught me the alphabet when i was like 2...when i got into school we made pretzels in the shape of the first letter of our name-i should scan the recipe-it's cute

delliott101 #5.1 delliott101OG 2002

Youngin'... Sesame Street premiered when I was... oops... nevermind...

forrestina #5.1.1 forrestinaOG 2002

everyone on sesame street was real-no one can tell me any different. especially slimey!

delliott101 #5.1.1.1 delliott101OG 2002

I don't rememeber slimey on Sesame Street.. a friend of Oscar's by chance? I always liked Ernie and that song "Mu-num-in-a"

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

yes slimey is oscar's worm!

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002

Slimey must have come on the scene after I stopped watching the show... does anyone on the show know Snuffaluffagus exists besides Big Bird?

reaf reafOG 2002

yeah I knew him

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002

i had him and made him play with grover so he knew him too

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002

Yeah, but on the show... does anyone other than Big Bird know about him?

reaf reafOG 2002 delliott101

why? is there somehting specific you wanna know about him or are you just askin who remembers him?

delliott101 delliott101OG 2002 reaf

The last time I saw Sesame Street, Big Bird was friends with Snuffy... he (she... I dunno... what IS Big Bird anyway?) would try to tell others about Snuffy, but no one else ever saw him (someone as big as Snuffy... you would think SOMEBODY on the Street would have seen him). I'm just wondering if anyone else on Sesame Street knows that Snuffy exists?!!?

deanh77 deanh77Founder delliott101

dude, I understood what you meant. yeah, if I remember right, snuffleupagus only hung out with big bird. it was pretty sad.

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 delliott101

actually, Aloysius 'Snuffy' Snuffleupagus, affectionately called snuffy, used to be invisible, but no more-He's 4. he does have a little sister who's 2. as for Big Bird he was the first to see snuffy. shut up every1-i'm bored at work right now while they're all eating birthday cake so i looked it up: http://glisten.net/sesame/

I never saw letter people before... My parents taught me to read using the book "From Paradise Lost to Paradise Regained"... I also learned to read street signs and junk...
