i had once been introduced to Barney last year when my dad's employee brought his 2 year old son at dad's office. he went with me upstairs having his barney VCD with him. intrigued, i played it on and i was amazed that the two year old kid knows the songs!

actually, i love the songs of Barney. childish, yep. but since then, i love watching Barney and i just bought a Barney VCD (again) last week and watched it last night. and can't help but smile.

well, yes. it's a kid's thing. but i do believe that there's always this little kid inside of us. we just don't know what they want but it keeps us younger all the time.

so, what are those things that keep you young? just as if you act or look like a kid. i don't think there's something wrong with that. or is there?

They say your childhood times are the best days of your life, so why shouldn't we all re-live them once in a while.
Its even easier once you have your own kids, you get to do all the fun childish stuff without anyone thinking you're strange.


myLot reputation of 98/100. maryannemax (10434)  3 years ago

yep. that is so true. i am 28, single and i love barney. i even sing the songs and even dance with barney and kids. well, i know i am still sane. haha! but yep. you are right. when i have kids of my own, i will not look crazy at all anymore.

I watch many of the children's programming, but when I do, it is with the kids! The programming is very educational and I have used a lot of what I have learned in real life. Sesame Street has taught me a few words of Sign. I also know some Spanish words too.


myLot reputation of 98/100. maryannemax (10434)  3 years ago

yep. i have seen Dora on television, too. and i've learned some spanish words from it, too. even when we are adults, we get to learn from kids' stuffs as well.

Generally me.

I'm like a clown without the face paint or clothes. I can pretty much cheer anyone up and normally it's a good thing, i guess what keeps me like is the fact i don't want to grow up although i do act mature. (just a funny dad figure)

Hopefully i won't embarse my son when he's older.
There's alot of children shows which i like to watch because some are fun and not all are aimed towards children. so are aimed at both, i don't like barney:P (i think it's his voice) as i love dinosaurs. hehe (land before time!!!!!) i love that=)

Kudos!
~Joey


myLot reputation of 98/100. maryannemax (10434)  3 years ago

oh. hehehe. i understand. but i am not really a lover of barney himself. but i love the songs in it. and i like baby bop. hihi.

and i have all the land before time collection. i love dinosaurs, too.

i do act like a mature person, too if the circumstance needs it. so, no need to dump the kid in us when we are growing up.

I'm always fond of watching cartoons, and I also missed those cartoons that I enjoyed from the past. But know I get to watch Spongebob, Justice League, the Simpsons, Drawn Together, American Dad and Dragonball..
I have a niece who also grew up watching Barney, since her parents are both working, I'm the one's always left to accompany her during her first two years. So I 've also learned to appreciate Barney, we always sing the songs together!;)


Barney and Friends..

myLot reputation of 98/100. maryannemax (10434)  3 years ago

wow! atleast, it's nice to know that i am not alone in this world. thanks!

i love dragonball, too and dragonball Z. i have heard of dragonball xyz. but i haven't seen it yet. i love animes! and that's for sure.

No, of course there is not nothing wrong with this feeling. Though I do not know what barney...
Anyway it is easy, when you have a child. Because you may see movies, you may read tales. And it will be seemed you do this just because you have a child:DD and you see and read the tales together. Or you listen to barney's song together. It is good to be a parent:D


myLot reputation of 98/100. maryannemax (10434)  3 years ago

yep. i do understand. it's nice to see parents spending time with their kids. honestly, i hope i have my own baby, too. but that will come in due time. as for now, i love some children's films, tv show and barney!

I also love watching cartoons or kids' shows with my nephews and nieces. Barney is one of my favorites. Kiddie programs are very educational and it keeps the adults young at heart, too, and gives a refreshing view about things in life.


myLot reputation of 98/100. maryannemax (10434)  3 years ago

true! it's nice to see adults who are young at heart. it makes us feel like there's nothing to worry about while we're enjoying the kid's stuffs.

My granddaughter has been a Barney addict for year! I know all of his songs and all of the characters on his programs and DVD's. I sing along, dance and do all the gestures right along with my granddaughter and at 59 years old I believe that's what keeps me young. I can do "Hey Mr. Knickerbocker" with the best of them! lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. maryannemax (10434)  3 years ago

oh. i haven't heard Hey Mr. Knickerbocker yet. on what VCD or DVD is that? interesting. yep. i do know and memorize some songs, too. i love baby bop and i kinda like BJ, too. and i copy the gestures as well just like you. and that's nice to know that even if you're at 59, you are still enjoying stuffs like this. cool grandma! that's nice.

I have to admit I can't see the appeal of Barney. However, I would watch Sesame Street if it was on television. Ernie and Bert are comedy geniuses in my opinion.

I also used to love The Transformers when I was a kid. I gave away my toys long ago but I sometimes wish I had kept them. I've watched a few episodes of it on TV recently and I still liked it.

You're right, there's nothing wrong with watching something that's aimed at children. If it makes you feel happy, keep watching it:)


myLot reputation of 98/100. maryannemax (10434)  3 years ago

i respect people who do not love barney. i know some who are not into it. well, we have different tastes and i respect that.

and oh, i remember the transformer days. haha! i was once addicted with transformers and really watch the show with my younger brothers. it's great fun! robots!

i like sesame street,too. i like cookie monster!


myLot reputation of 99/100. crispeater (1461)  3 years ago

Cookie Monster is cool:) When I was about 5 I used to have a Cookie Monster puppet that you put on your hand. I used to pretend I was a ventriloquist lol.


myLot reputation of 98/100. maryannemax (10434)  3 years ago

haha! yep. i have seen a cookie monster cookie jar before. but since i was still in highschool then, i wasn't able to buy it because my allowance is just budgetted for a week. i hope i get to see another cookie monster cookie jar and i'll surely get it now.
