On the way home from a movie yesterday, we got into a discussion about television shows. The previous evening, Julia had seen part of "How I Met Your Mother", which stars Neil Patrick Harris as the confident womanizer Barney Stinson. Barney, according to Julia, is "a guy who likes to date a lot of girls and use weird ideas in a book he made to get them to date him". So, while we were discussing him and his obsession with women on the show I mentioned that in real life this talented actor is actually gay. Not actually following the conversation (as usual) was Allison who quickly asked, "Barney's GAY? Wait, which one? The purple one or the red one?"
(Is there even a red Barney??? As for purple Barney, I have not idea. I worried more about Tinky Winky and his big purse.)
