Rest in Peace Barney
Remember Barney, the purple dinosaur? Now that we look back at the show, it just seems a little over the top and annoying but we suppose that’s why many kids adored the show. This father had had enough of Barney and his friends and one day when the OP asked him if they could watch their favorite show, he did the unthinkable.
He told the OP that Barney had died. Ouch! Now that seems a little extreme but if we had to listen to “Barney is a dinosaur from our imagination. And when he’s tall, he’s what we call a dinosaur sensation” over and over, we’d be pretty annoyed too.
