It may not be the time of year for Mother’s Day, but 20/20 associate producer Maddy Cunningham just officially raised and set the bar for the coolest gift to mom ever. And the fact that her mom appreciated this particular gift so much says a lot for her own coolness factor as a parent.Cunningham (the younger), who told the story on Twitter in multiple parts, told her mother only that they were going on a surprise trip. Then in the elevator, she broke the news that on this sunny day, they were going where the air is sweet. Her reaction was instant.

If you’ve ever wondered what it might look like to enter Sesame Street, follow Maddy’s mom as she does exactly that:

Eager to keep the laughs going, monsters Cookie and Herry had a bit of fun with their new guest, and each other.

Herry’s a persistent fellow. You might call him a Herry plotter, though Sesame Street itself is the real sorcerer’s stone.

You can find a few more photos on Maggie’s Twitter feed, including her mom in Big Bird’s nest. It’s safe to say that any hypothetical Kid of the Year award is probably in the bag.What would you want to do first if you found yourself on Sesame Street? Sweep the clouds away and comment below!
