Good grief. Banned forever?? How harsh! Wouldn't visits with parental supervision have been more appropriate?
I don't know what to say. Very nice ending, Figgie, if you ever see this. I love the idea of the mural including everyone, so the kidlets will grow up knowing they're part of a large and loving extended family. Your choice to break the fourth wall by addressing us at the end (before "the end") was odd, but given the current circumstances of your life I can certainly overlook it.
Hope you come back soon. And BTW -- there is NOTHING WRONG with treating Muppets as REAL people, with real desires and troubles and dreams and lives! To stifle that creatively cannot but spill over negatively into "real life". Hope your folks change their minds; you've done NOTHING wrong.
Safe travels, kid.
