Barney? Are you kidding me?

I don't know what it is about being sick, but it always creates some sort of bizarre portal that allows Barney back into our house. Honestly. When the girlies were little they were BIG Barney fans. It's a little difficult to admit. It could be worse, I know. It's good clean fun, I guess. But really, every time they get sick they seem to revert back to the Barney days. I was sure (or thought I was) that I had seen my last Barney video after our many, many sick days in January & February. Guess not. They did snicker and put on their ornery faces after putting in the DVD. I think maybe they initially just did it to see what my reaction would be, but we're actually watching it now. Well, that might be because I told them that they had to! :) They almost seem to be enjoying it though... On the plus side, they do seem to be picking up on some of the absurdity of it all. During one particular farm song there was a skunk onscreen with a collar. I've never before heard anyone mention the collar, but this time they did. That's a good sign, right? Will we still be watching Barney videos when they're 16 and sick? I might just drag them out at that point. What goes around comes around, you know...
