Barney, the idol!

I think initially all parents are glad that finally there's something that will keep the children occupied. Now that they have found Barney, the children's program mascot, I have to share my TV with militant supporters who insist on having Barney on and nothing else. It's as if they have been promised ice-cream or chocolate to sit 'quietly'.

Somehow, I get more hugs too as the Barney theme song "I love you,...." has them hug each other. Christa started singing "twinkle-twinkle little star even before she learnt how to speak her first 3 words. Barney, I take my hat off to you.
