Sorry about the double post, but one thing I just remembered and I had to mention here:
I remember a few years ago my cousin and uncle saw my Fisher-Price Scooter doll, and my cousin said, "Hey, that's Hermit the Frog!" My uncle followed up with, "Really? I thought it was Elmo." I admit, I laughed to their faces, but I was also quite shocked my uncle didn't at least know that Elmo was red and furry.
