It began with this:
There is a MONSTER at the end of this Twitter conversation. twitter.com/sesamestreet/s…
— Sesame Street (@sesamestreet) January 30, 2013
And then Grover started talking:
Grover: WHAT DID THAT SAY?
— Sesame Street (@sesamestreet) January 30, 2013
Slowly the monster began to reveal itself:
Grover: AAAAH!! twitter.com/sesamestreet/s…
— Sesame Street (@sesamestreet) January 30, 2013
Until finally the monster turned out to be Grover himself:
Grover: Well… look at that. This is the end of the conversation and the only one here is ME! twitter.com/sesamestreet/s…
— Sesame Street (@sesamestreet) January 30, 2013
And Grover was ashamed:
Grover: (Oh, I am so embarrassed...)
— Sesame Street (@sesamestreet) January 30, 2013
The tweets, as folks on Twitter were quick to point out, were an homage to The Monster at the End of this Book: Starring Lovable, Furry Old Grover, which was originally published in 1971. Hear Grover read it himself in this video via BuzzFeed:
