When I was wee, this was one of my favorite Sesame Street shorts! I loved the Alligator King’s fingers and the singer’s folksy voice. I came across it again on You Tube this morning, though, and now I think the thing I love most about it is the message.

I’m as guilty as anyone of comforting myself with food and material things. And there’s something to be said for treating yourself! Still, I wonder how many times what I really needed wasn’t a piece of chocolate or a new top so much as a hug or some time with my friends.
