Eric vs Barney

Eric is still struggling with Megan's current obsession w/Barney. She gets to watch one episode a day, much to his chagrin. Here is how he is coping:

Phase I
  • He reminds Megan that Barney is a T-Rex, and T-Rex was a terrible Dinosaur that would have eaten little human girls if we roamed the Earth together
  • He reminds Megan that dinosaur means "terrible lizard"
  • He asked me if we could take Megan to Target to buy her a new stuffed animal, since she usually likes to watch the TV show that goes with whatever her favorite stuffed animal is

Phase II

  • He sits next to Megan while watching Barney, and askes me why annoying kids' shows are so addicting
  • He tells me that he doesn't like Barney, because he sees Barney skipping on the show, and then he wants to skip and can't stop skipping
  • He tells me that the Barney show is sucking him in again, as he sits next to Megan on the couch while watching Barney

Phase III

We are not at Phase III yet, but I anticipate it may include Eric watching Barney w/o Megan
