“Dogs like her paintings...but birds don’t.” I'm sorry, but I did giggle at that part. Its too cute for words! I completely pictured him saying it the way a little kid would.

“'I thought Ted was dying so I didn’t see the bus,' he added sheepishly." And this is the part where I had to stop reading for a bit because I was "awww"-ing too much! That happens to me sometimes. When something is too much of anything (adorable, hilarious, sad, shocking, etc.) I have to take a minute to regain composure. So kudos for getting that reaction out of me.

I love that he still loves Robin and calls her the second most awesome person despite his new state of mind. I love that he remembers everything he loves and hates about his life despite this. I feel so bad for the poor baby!

Thanks for the continuation! I can picture these scenes and exchanges really well, so keep up the good work!

Aww... I'm glad you enjoyed it! Trying to write a regressed Barney that was also somewhat in character was one of the more difficult issues I encountered writing this... but I had to keep his love for Robin in there, it's too much a part of him to remove completely! :P

I feel bad for liking emotionally stunted, deeply traumatized Barney, but I really really do. He's so adorable! :D

I also want to know more about what's going on with him. Please update this soon! :)

Aww... don't feel bad, regressed!Barney is supposed to be a part of adult Barney too! He just likes to keep it well hidden when he's not deeply traumatised... :P

New chapter's up, so sorry for the long wait! The things procrastination can do to you...
