Sesame Street is Annika's favorite show. She will sit on the couch and watch the whole thing. It airs at 5pm on our local public television station, channel 17. Last night, the 5pm news came on the NBC channel so I assumed it was 5pm. I said, "Annika, want to watch Sesame Street?" I then turned the channel to 17. You know where this is going, right? It wasn't on yet. They were still showing the weather channel updates. I left it there and Annika waited patiently for a minute or two. Then she looked at me and asked "Street?" Poor girl. She wanted her Sesame Street. I told her it would be on in just a little bit. She repeated a few more times "street." Pretty soon she got antsy so I started flipping the channels to find something on another channel to distract her. A couple minutes later Sesame Street came on. Annika was very happy and sat on the couch to watch it while I made dinner.
