Best Friends

When I was single, I used to scoff at Barney. And when Charly was born, I told David that there was no way we would turn into parents who would sing along with a crazy purple dinosaur who looked like a lump of clay.

Then one day Charly grabbed my legs, and hugging me to her, sang "I love you, you love me. We're best friends like friends should be, with a great big hug and a kiss from me to you, won't you say you love me too?"

She placed an emphasis on the "We're best friends" part as she hugged my legs. Hit me straight in the heart.

From that day on, I've been a fan.

Barney, I love you.
