I used to believe that Cookie Monster really ate cookies. When I got older, I knew he couldn't eat them but I thought he had a hole in his mouth that you couldn't see (his mouth is black) and that he crumbled up the cookies and brushed the crumbs into the hole. I was skipping class one day a couple of years ago and flipped on the TV. Their was Cookie Monster trying to eat a Converse All Star high top sneaker. I was so devastated to find out that I was wrong. He crumbled up the shoe and when he thought no one was looking, he threw it under the counter. I saw it though! I can't believe that Cookie was lying to us all those years. He doesn't eat the cookies at all! He just crumbles them up and brushes them out of his mouth! It's horrible!
