It's alright to cry, crying takes the sad out of you. →[More:]Between Sesame Street and Free to Be You and Me, this guy had a profound effect on my childhood. And I never knew anything about him. Thanks, Mr. Hart.

Free to Be made me what I am today, I'm sure of it.

I can still recite "Atalanta." And we made the theme song into an anthem at my ol' summer camp.

Me, too. Atalanta and Don't Dress Your Cat in an Apron, especially.

When I grow up, I'm gonna be happy,
And do what I like to do.
Like making noise, and making faces
And making friends like you.

And when we grow up, do you think we'll see
That I still like you, and you still like me.
I might be pretty, you might grow tall,
But we don't have to change at all.

Judy Blume wrote the Pain and the Great One. Both times I tried to watch Sooner or Later, chupahija went off on a manic rage.
