the demise of our cookie monster through the humble vegetable


Today in class we had an earnest and frank discussion about the Cookie Monster( from Sesame Street), and his demise into dark days-dark days filled with "sometimes cookies," and "mostly vegetables" .The Cookie Monster has became an ugly, loathsome, vegetable-eating lie... i mean you just can't eat cookies(exclusively) for nearly 40 years of your life and then suddenly decide that maybe eating cookies is particularly unhealthy.It would even be alright for him to eat ecologically friendly nutrient-rich vegan-style cookies... why couldn't that be possible?... why do cookies have to be only sometimes food?
I lament the loss of our cookie monster, from the deepest depths of my heart.
And subsequently, mathematics doesn't seem so important.
