and the voice of reason in our relationship. Some might view me as eccentric because I
collect bottle caps and paper clips, play the tuba, and love Bernice, my pet pigeon. I’m not
always a willing participant in Ernie’s escapades because I always sense that the tables are
destined to be turned on me, or that I will end up with the short end of the stick! In the

favorite is working in Charlie’s Restaurant.

About Me: I am a very lovable, caring and friendly super monster. More often than
not, I land right in the middle of problems, and I make what I think are helpful, but some
