TIL that the Count in Sesame Street does not count all the time to teach children numbers! In folklore, vampires had arithmomania, or an obsession with numbers. This derives from the old superstition that throwing poppy seeds on the ground stopped vampires because they had to count them all first.

I like the poster’s implication that the producers of Sesame Street did not put a counting vampiric count on a children’s educational series to teach kids how to count; this was just an incidental side effect of their fidelity to obscure vampire folklore.

do  do people not know this about vampires  is this the sort of thing that separates english upbringing from the rest of the world  this is like the time with the kelpies all over again  sesame street  educating ur child on how to deal with vampires  but also about how some vampires are chill and like to sing
