The Diabetic Cookie Monster

Okay, so it doesn't exit. And I'm not Diabetic, but because I am a larger girl people seem to assume I am. I was on a lot of medication yesterday and started rambling on and on about the Diabetic Cookie Monster. It's kind of amusing if you think about it. I said he can be thin, with straggly hair and a pale blue complexion. And he could be eating those little gluten free diabetic cookies you pay two arms and a leg for.

I may have been on to something in my medicated state of bliss, maybe we should have a Muppet or a cartoon character that has a disease like Diabetes or Epilepsy so that children who do have these diseases, the ones that grow up with them, can have a roll model that isn't always chowing down on donuts and ice cream and going to clubs and so on. I have a cousin who is diabetic, I also have a relative who is epileptic and it's hard for them. Jessie, my relative who has seizures, even has to wait before she can get her licence and she may have problems getting into the profession she chose years ago before all this started. She wants to be a Forensic person like CSI and has worked towards that for the past four years, has taken extra high school classes, ones that get her credit in college for the major she chose.

Maybe we should have a Misunderstood Muppet Troupe. I don't know I'm definitely not a TV show developer, I'm the romance writer type. lol.
