Our May Message Series: The Muppet Theory of Everything

Our May Message Series: The Muppet Theory of Everything

In 2012, a writer for Slate magazine made a provocative suggestion… that everyone in the world can be classified into one of two categories: Order Muppets, and Chaos Muppets. Order Muppets (think Bert, Kermit, Sam the Eagle) keep things organized and on track, while Chaos Muppets (Ernie, Cookie Monster, Gonzo) bring big bursts of energy and creativity. The world needs both in balance, of course – some of the oldest wisdom stories are about finding ways to resolve that eternal dance, between order and chaos. In our *all-ages* series for May, we’ll explore some of those stories, and learn how to keep dancing, no matter what kind of Muppets surround us.
