When I was about 2 years old,I began attending nursery school at a modern bungalow house that had been made into a nursery school.It was there,believe it or not,where I first came upon Cookie Monster and Oscar The Grouch.These were smaller hand puppet replicas that sat side by side,each in their own special box,at the far end of one of the school's playrooms.My parents later bought me my very own copies of the exact same two puppets.An interesting thing is,Cookie Monster and Oscar were rarely seen together on Sesame Street.I'm aware that Frank Oz did Cookie Monster,while Oscar was done by Carroll Spinney.But in fact,I can only remember one segment that had these two characters together.I can't remember what the situation was,but it took place by Oscar's trash can.I just remember the end of the segment,where for some reason,Cookie Monster got a craving for Oscar's trash can.So as he tried to devour Oscar's trash can,with Oscar in it,Oscar began helplessly pushing Cookie Monster away while at the same time yelling for help.
