Everything I needed to know that I didn't learn from Sesame Street...

...I maybe learned from Pippi Longstocking:

"That is why we are here," said the teacher, "to be good and kind to other people."

Pippi stood on her head on the horse's back and waved her legs in the air. "Heigh-ho," said she, "then why are the other people here?"

---Astrid Lindgren, Pippi Goes on Board, "Pippi Goes to the School Picnic", p. 56

Do I really need to say more?
