Prompt: Reid gets roped into babysitting (Jacob? Ethan? Other Oakdale kids?) and is forced to watch Sesame Street. He is appalled at their new "Healthy Habits for Life" shtick and can't understand why cookies are a "sometime food" now.

Luke was curled up in an armchair reading through some reports from the Maritime Commission and ignoring his husband and their nephew-facsimile, Jacob Snyder. Jacob and spent the night with them due to his mother having volunteered to help take care of her friend Henry, who was currently suffering ignobly from chicken pox. As Henry was quick to email to everyone of his acquaintance, chicken pox was not fun for adults. The fact that he had to be quarantined from his beloved wife, Barbara, was the cause for much bad, angst-filled poetry.

Luke glanced up when he heard Reid exclaim in disgust, “This is a crock!”

“Crock!” crowed two year old Jacob who was sitting on Reid’s lap and cuddling Reid’s left arm as though it was a Teddy bear. Jacob was staring intently at the television.

“Is Sesame Street being sponsored today by a letter that you consider intellectually inferior?” asked a confused Luke.

“Were you aware that cookies are now a sometimesfood?” asked Reid. “It’s like they neutered Cookie Monster ( ... )

Jacob LOVES his Reid.

I probably didn't watch Sesame Street all that much but I have vague feelings of fondness for it and appreciate what the show stands for. They strove to have a diverse cast and promote learning as something to love so that's cool.

Hilarious, especially when they compare people to the muppets.

Damian’s definitely Count von Count. Snazzy dresser. Hot accent.”

“Someday, maybe for our twentieth wedding anniversary, you could gift me with agreeing to no longer use the word ‘hot’ in relation to any of my parents,” murmured Luke.

“Not my fault you have do-able parents,” shrugged Reid.

“Do-able!” shouted Jacob.
HA HA!

Thank you!

I'm thinking Brad was probably Big Bird - not the most intellectually gifted muppet.

Ha haaa! Awesome - love the use of Sesame St. characters - spot on. Wonder what Bob would be?

And I love the idea of Henry with the pox!

Thanks!

My vote is that Bob is Gordon - kind of a teacher and mentor to all the muppets [er, hospital staff].

Yay! Thank you so much for filling this prompt! :)

Hee hee, Henry and chicken pox. :D Also LOL-ing at the character comparisons. :D

“It’s like they neutered Cookie Monster.”

Oh Reid, I'm so with you on that one. Poor Cookie Monster. :(

“Do-able!” shouted Jacob.

I love your Jacob and his exclamations!

Thank you! Intellectually, I get why they changed Cookie Monster but it still makes me a little sad.
