a short trip to outerspace

Went to MICC this afternoon to watch a sneak preview of Barney's OuterSpace adventure show to be held this weekend here in Dubai. I've been joining competition to hopefully win us tickets and surprise little V. 

We arrived around 5 in the afternoon and the floor was packed with moms and kids waiting for every little one's purple friend. Luckily V and I found a good spot and took our place (sitting on the floor) singing along to familiar Barney songs. After 10 minutes V started asking where Barney is now and how long does he need to wait. 20 minutes...30 minutes...still no purple dinosaur in sight. 

Some parents have been finding ways to squeeze their little one in the crowd, giving instructions (well more of shouting) to go walk till they reach the front. Which I think is just st***d! The little girl politely saying "excuse me" and looking back to her mom asking "it's ok here?", mom replies "Go to the front" (another mom beside me translated for us). Why would you ask your child to do that?!

Few kids won complimentary tickets to see the show. V got disappointed cause only kids seated in the front were chosen to participate. One boy cried when he lost good thing his mom won the game. 

A big thank you to MICC for the Barney show!
