“Gimme an M! Gimme an I! Gimme an N! Gimme a D! Gimme a Y!”
“It’s I!”
“Uh, give me an I!”
During the BlogHer conference, Mindi had the opportunity to meet the newest member of the Sesame Street cast: Abby Cadabby. Abby is a three year old fairy-in-training (with floppy pink wings and a sparkly wand). She loves to cast magic spells, entertain children, and play with her friends Elmo and Zoe.
Abby interviewed Mindi about her two kids, Milli (age 12) and Margaux (age 21), as well as her two nieces, Madeline and Zsa Zsa, giving all of them an enthusiastic shout-out. “You know what Milli? Banana slugs are filled with Vitamin B!” She exclaimed, after learning that Mindi’s twelve year old had kissed one of the slugs. “So it’s a good thing she did that!”
Abby is the first new female Muppet to appear on the show in 13 years. She is intended to show the importance of diversity, and to share the unique experiences of people from different backgrounds.

I loved this!!!! How special to actually have a conversation with a Sesame Street character - that’s even better than meeting the President! Abby is absolutely a sweetheart of a fairy!
Hi Mindi-
I know now why Tracy considers you a Very Special friend & co-worker. What a delight to watch the clip.
My question is? It looks as though you do the Puppet and the Voice??
Continuous Blessings,

Hey Chuck,
That’s so funny! Hmmm… Abby is a “real” Sesame Street Muppet. I had no control of her whatsoever. So whatever came out of her mouth was purely Abby & not Mindi! I’m glad you liked the video, I had tons of fun making it!
