“Pretending to be a princess is fun, but it is definitely not a career,” explains one of America’s most senior judges, Sonia Sotomayor, during her appearance on Sesame Street on Friday.

“So, what kind of career can a girl like me have?” asks Abby, a muppet, in response. Listen to the Supreme Court Justice’s advice in the video below…

It’s not the first time that Justice Sotomayor has starred on Sesame Street. Earlier this year she presided over a fairy tale dispute between Goldilocks and Baby Bear.
