Favorite Sesame Street Characters and Your Personality: PHOTO

My favorite character when I was younger—and when pressed, to this day—wasn't the sunshiny and affable Big Bird or the clumsy and lovable Grover, but the stringy and gruff Oscar the Grouch, who sang songs about hating everything and wiled away his days in a garbage can. To me, his lack...
