I didn&#8217;t <em>know<\/em> it was their favorite muppet show video, and I doubt it would have even been their favorite had I not been giving it away.  &#8220;Why do you have to give <em>everything<\/em> away, Mom?!&#8221; one little complainer whined.  &#8220;I don&#8217;t give everything away,&#8221;  I replied,  &#8220;Do I give away your clothes?
