And that is how you make magic on Twitter. Those of us who grew up with this book, and read it to our own children, probably became too excitable for words. I know, I did.

Wil Wheaton certain did. Here are his reactions:

GROVER TALKED TO ME YOU GUYS OMG bit.ly/Uiiwk3

— Wil Wheaton (@wilw) January 30, 2013

Remember that time when Grover was all, "Oh, hey, Wil Wheaton. I know you exist." And I was all i.imgur.com/OWMNw.gif? That was awesome.

— Wil Wheaton (@wilw) January 30, 2013

Here it comes ... wait for it ... he's going to say he's embarrassed and I'm going to scream like a teen girl meeting The Bieber.

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
