[post_page_title]The secret behind 143[/post_page_title]
While watching the show you might notice a number that keeps popping up, which is 143. This number held particularly meaningful to Fred Rogers and he tried to include it everywhere in his life. In his interpretation, the number one went to the letter “I,” the number four went to the four letter word “love, and three went to the three letter word “you.” So, to him, 143 stood for I love you. Legend has it that whenever he weighed himself in his adult life he always weighed exactly 143 pounds.
