A Box of Muppets

April 21, 2020 by Celia @ Fig Jam and Lime Cordial

Last week, I chipped a ceramic ornament and asked Steady Hands Pete to fix it for me.

Pete: “Can you get me the box with the hot glue gun, please?”

Me: ~hands him a box~

Pete: “This is the wrong one.

Me: “No, it’s not…”

Pete: “Babe, it’s full of Muppets.”

My life is one endless comedy sketch. Also, I have a box of Muppets, which makes me very, very happy!

. . . . .

We’re big Jim Henson fans in our house – so much so that we even built our own Muppet in 2001. I’m not sure if any of you remember Benny? Small Man named him after the Elton John song and we didn’t have the heart to tell him at the time that that Bennie was female…

Did you know Eva’s dad actually worked with Jim Henson years ago? That still blows me away! Any other Muppet fans out there? If so, who was your favourite? ♥

    1) I love it that your Muppets are neatly boxed. 2) I did NOT know that Benny was a girl!!!! This will take time to digest. 3) Miss Piggy. x

        Now I have an ear worm. A fabulous one, but by the time it’s been there a while…..

    Absolutely loved watching the muppets growing up and our kids love them too. I have a soft spot for Kermit 🐸
    I do love Benny, that’s one to hand down through the generations.

    Loved the muppets as a kid. Even have a few Muppet books from my childhood that my girls now enjoy. Animal was my favourite.
    Cheers Laura

    Kermit and Gonzo – Kermit for standing calm among the chaos and Gonzo for all the fun chaos he created – he was such a visionary!

    Loved the movies best! Every year Christmas movies are reshown, the one I live for is the Muppet Christmas Carol with Michael Caine as Scrooge. And for years my favourite joke was Kermit in the swamp .
    Lost ..Kyaker “I seem to have lost my sense of direction”
    Kermit “Have you tried the Hare Krishnas?”
