Writers Workshop - Friendly Advice!

Today's chosen Writers Workshop prompt is #5 - Friendly Advice

This is a great topic for me. I have lots of advice to give. :-)

Lord knows I've gotten enough advice, and now that I'm a Mommy of Three, I earned the right to dish it back out. Ha.

[To Richard Simmons:] I don't mean to be mean, but I have to be straight - comedy is not your thing. Stay away. Sorry. Your appearance on Drew Carey's "Whose Line Is It Anyway" was one of the most painful things I could not look away from.

[To SuperNanny:] I have no advice for you. I just wanted to pretend I do. You're awesome. Keep on keeping on. Do you babysit? :-)

[To the sweet little neighbour boy:] I like your free spirit. Please make a sound when you come visit. Turning around and finding you just behind me in the furthest reaches of my house is not good for my heart.

[To the Children's Television Workshop:] Sesame Street was iconic and revolutionary and touched the lives of millions worldwide. Don't lose your edge by trying to compete with the mainstream. The legacy of your creative risk-taking is why you have your viewership today. Today's kid viewers aren't going to make their kids watch Sesame Street though, unless you hit your creative stride once more. Oscar is called a Grouch for a reason. Stop milking Elmo. He doesn't need half the program. We're losing you to Political Correctness. And some of your content is as revolutionary and memorable now as it was then. Like this

and this

I'd love to sit and watch you with my kids on TV instead of YouTube. I know grown people who can recite entire sketches word for word, and frankly... we miss you.
