I Guess She’ll Die!

Do you have this memory from when you are younger? You’re watching a kids t.v. show and the song There Was an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Fly is playing and there’s a shadow puppet of the old lady in a rocking chair eating all these animals: the fly, the spider, the bird, cat, dog, goat, horse… Then at the end she blows up and you’re traumatized for life?

Can’t relate? Well, I had this memory suppressed in my head since I was a child. Every now and then it would surface, but I’d push it back down. I was at the point that I didn’t know if it ever really existed — kinda like a cartoon code book, I think I owned. Well, the other day, I saw it on the Muppet Show! I think the most creepy frightening memories I have come from the Muppet Show.
