Sesame Street‘s Twitter account tweeted out a clever question on Wednesday.
Did you know that there’s a MONSTER on Twitter?

Hmm, why yes we have noticed a monster on Twitter lately! A big orange one, with wild hair and trigger-happy thumbs.
Followers were quick to applaud the cheeky tweet.

And speculate as to who the monster in question might be.

Meanwhile, the tweet sent Sesame Street resident Grover into a tailspin.

Did that say there is a MONSTER on Twitter?
— Grover (@Grover) November 16, 2016
I better log off.
— Grover (@Grover) November 16, 2016
HEY, STOP RETWEETING ME SO I CAN LOG OFF OKAY? Because there is a MONSTER on Twitter! It is not safe!
— Grover (@Grover) November 16, 2016
Listen, I have an idea.
— Grover (@Grover) November 16, 2016
If we all stop tweeting, we will never get to the end of this – what do you call it, a “tweet” “storm”? What a silly name.
— Grover (@Grover) November 16, 2016
Oh yes, Grover. We’ve all thought of that one. If we just log off of social media long enough our national nightmare will be over.
And that is a good thing because there is MONSTER at the end of it.
— Grover (@Grover) November 16, 2016
You. Do. Not. Know. What. You. Are. Doing. To. Me.
— Grover (@Grover) November 16, 2016
But the matter was quickly settled. Like an expert sub-tweeter, the minds behind the Sesame Street account answered their own question in a follow up tweet.
A few of them! @Elmo, @Grover, and @MeCookieMonster. And a @BigBird too (but he’s not a monster). And some of their friends! https://t.co/gzBehktUgO

Grover, for one was relieved.
Okay, this tweet storm is over. Where’s this monster? I’m the only one here.
— Grover (@Grover) November 16, 2016
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH.
— Grover (@Grover) November 16, 2016
Well then, it looks like I, furry, adorable, lovable old (and cute, too!) Grover, am the MONSTER at the end of these tweets.
— Grover (@Grover) November 16, 2016
And YOU were so scared.
— Grover (@Grover) November 16, 2016
(Oh, I am so embarrassed…)
— Grover (@Grover) November 16, 2016
Oh, Grover. Sweet innocent Grover. How do we break this to you? There are much scarier monsters out there than you, buddy.
