I know there was a more current topic relating to this subject... I just couldn't find it. :(

Anyway, my son was watching Sesame Street this morning and I was distracted while talking on the phone with my wife. I was holding the phone to his ear for his morning Q&A with mom and suddenly my son proclaims loudly, "Tiki!" I whip around and sure enough a bunch of kids were in the jungle exploring the letter of the day, which is G for those who missed it, and they cut to a shot of a classic looking stone Marquesan followed by a wooden carved modern style tiki! It feels good to know that my son has got my back when it comes to looking for tiki! I also have a new found respect for Sesame Street for exposing a new generation to tiki even if it's in an indirect way!
