Our household has escaped the big purple dinosaur, until recently. Aiden had never even seen an episode of Barney until we discovered Marissa loves the show, much to Marc's chagrin. Honestly, the show is not as horrendous as everyone claims and some of the songs are actually quite catchy.
This morning over cereal I was singing the familiar song from Barney to Marissa.
“I love you, you love me, we’re a happy family…” you know how it goes.
My lovely rendition of the song was suddenly interrupted when Aiden starts making machine gun noises and yells “Shut the hell up!”
The silence that immediately followed and the look of utter shock on my face must have registered with my little guy because he quickly turned a shade of pink and very quietly said “What? Ben said he saw it in a movie”. Ben is a friend of his in Grade 1, whose name has been heard a lot this past week. I haven't met Ben, but when I do I will be sure to thank him for sharing that bit of movie trivia with my son.
As if on queue, Marissa starts to laugh and begins to imitate the machine gun noise too.
Aiden quickly tries to save himself….”See mom, even Marissa knows”
This is when I started to laugh. Cause really, what else could I do?
