Yes, we don’t have the muppet’s eye view of things. It’s possible that somebody in the crowd wanted something the muppet couldn’t give or was doing something the muppet didn’t approve of. And then there was the possibility that the muppet didn’t see the little girls at first. In any case, the muppet should have realized the mistake and made it up to the kids. Unnecessarily bad press for Sesame Place.
I wonder how easy it is to see anything right under you in those masks if you are looking ahead and not down.
But...maybe I was mistaken:
Any one of us could accidentally miss seeing someone, including a child--but I don't think I could intentionally brush off a child.
