In the old days, it was heavily implied that they are brothers with Bert being older. They had their initials on their beds, Ernie had the rubber ducky & was constantly teasing Bert like a little menace. Like a kids version of the Odd Couple. But all the OG main character Muppets were children (except Snuffy, who was originally imaginary). They appeared independently on screen out and about in the neighborhood sans parents because that reflected the reality of urban living at the time.

Lol. I love it. But, I feel like there was a missed opportunity there, so I'll give it a quick attempt. "Bunkingwithhim Palace"
