this is riley's sign for "all gone." it can also mean, "i don't know."
you'll notice that riley is holding two sesame street character plastic little people--big bird and snuffie. they have been stored for 30 years by popo ellie in new hampshire. that's why they're smaller than the current little people series. riley loves them, but she is sad that she can't find elmo: he didn't exist 30 years ago on sesame street! well, that's not exactly true. in the beginning of sesame street, he had a bit part as a baby monster. it wasn't until 1985 that he took a lead .
other elmo facts?
he's 3.5 years old
kevin clash is his puppeteer
he has appeared on the rosie o'donnell show, the martha stewart show, the view, and west wing
in 2002 he testified in front of congress asking for increased support for music education
yup, elmo is a big part of our lives here!
