From the backseat, en route to the playground (and yes, we could've walked, but the Slurpees we needed were at least a mile in the other direction)...
Sarah (sung to the tune of the alphabet song): "A,B,C,D,E,F,G---Barney is my enemy...."
Darren (not to be outdone): "Joy to the World, 'cause Barney's dead. Let's cut off Barney's head!" [followed by peals of loud laughter]
Mommy (not a big fan of the dinosaur, but appalled nonetheless by the Barney brutality): "You guys, that is AWFUL. Please do not sing that song...especially at school or the playground. Little kids love Barney and that is just mean-spirited and violent."
Sarah: "Barney is for little kids. When I'm a teenager, I'm going to have a band called 'Barney's Dead.' On the drums there will be a big picture of Barney's face with X's for the eyes."
Darren (sold on the idea): "Can I be in it?"
Sarah: "Yes. I mean, no. It's going to be a girl band. Luke will play drums."
Mommy: "Luke's not a girl."
Sarah: "No, but he can really play drums."
Darren: "Actually, I think you should call the band 'Bloody Barney.' It sounds better."
Sarah (with conviction): "You will be the manager, Darren."
Oh, how quickly we forget the affections of our youth...

I do like the sound of "Bloody Barney".
Luke rules...he can get into a girl band...he's that good!! Too funny
Extinction Sucks!
That is hilarious! Reminds me of Sarah's kids (aka the Goon Squad) and their affection for Death Metal Wednesday. ;-)
I love it! Barney brutality. Can I be a groupie of their band?
OH.MY.GOSH! This is so funny! LOVE the band names :) heeheehee
Oh gosh - this really put a smile on my face. Your kids are great thinkers girl. Off course, we are so into Barney at the moment.
I have to admit Barney really gets on my nerves so I am right there with your two! I can not wait to hear the future songs on Bloody Barney! Sweet picture - I hope you shared that photo with Darren!
Barney's Dead is a funny band name....I hope I don't hurt anyone's feelings by saying that.
I would buy their album.
Ode to Darren and Sarah
From selling their artwork
to forming two bands
Cheryl's got a couple of entrepreneurs
on her hands.
They sound hilarious!
BWaaaahahaha I'm fascinated and horrified all at once ;) How on Earth did you you keep from laughing out loud? I'd *so* buy the album - no matter which name they use :)
My boys also talk about blood and gore so much and they don't it even blink...this convo was hysterical.
Poor Barney! LOL!
This is great...sugar and spice and everything nice? I think not!
Tee hee! I think that's a riot. You can tell S&D that Abigail would come and sing for them. She's another one who LOVED Barney, and now detests him.
