I&#x27;m not particularly moved by this assessment.<p>Two year olds are incredibly diverse.  Elmo exhibits only certain, particular behaviors of a two-year-old: he is self-centered, demands everyone else&#x27;s attention, and is mostly oblivious to the fact that he&#x27;s part of a larger social dynamic.<p>In the early days of Snuffy and Big Bird, they acted more like two-year-olds also, but they leaned on other qualities that are often evident in people who are learning language and movement: they were thoughtful, unafraid to say things that didn&#x27;t make sense at first blush, and descriptive about their imaginations.
