Nope, she didn't! That's what I always thought -- where was the logic of that? LOL!
See, let that be a lesson to today's parents - if your child has had a nightmare in which he/she is menaced by Barney (the purple dinosaur, not our Barn) and SpongeBob along with some character from some spooky/darker show your child watches, ban the watching of ALL the shows, not just the darker show! If not, 40 years from now your child may be posting on some fan forum (or whatever Internet forums and the Internet itself have evolved into by then) with other fans of that spooky/darker show, and you'll be made to look extremely logically challenged.
(Although, Barney should be banned in all households just out of turn. Sure, his I-love-you-You-love-me philosophy teaches kids sharing and caring, which is always good - but realistically, at what price to your current and your child's future sanity?!
