I'm a bit embarrassed to share this story but it'd make a great Reader's Digest story...it's so comical and typical Jared I have to share...
For many years Jared has been a humongous Barney fan. Many parents get irritated about Barney after just a couple of years, we had the joy of having Barney videos played in our house for close to two decades. When Jared was somewhere between 15 and 16 years old we finally managed to convince him to donate his Barney videos. There have been times over the years that Jared has asked to purchase new Barney DVD's to which we've reminded him that Barney is a baby show and he is not a baby anymore. So we've managed to live Barney free, for a few years...
Jared recently discovered Google, or as he refers to it "Doogle". With that discovery he found that he can look up many of his favorite shows, from Arthur to Winnie the Pooh. Of course it wasn't long before he found Barney! He has proceeded to watch many episodes, old and new, and has been enjoying himself. As we sit at the dinner table Jared likes to tell us about the shows that he's been watching. Not long after he discovered Barney he mentioned specific Barney episodes that he'd been watching. I reminded him that Barney is a baby show and that he is not a baby and I have no interest or desire to hear anything about Barney - as I have watched every single episode almost as many times as he has. What is so funny and typical Jared is that when I reminded him of the fact that I did not wish to hear anything about Barney he sat quietly for a moment and after giving it a bit of thought and with a sly smile on his face he casually stated "So, that purple dinosaur..."
