Wait...what?

Alright, so I'm a substitute teacher, but being in my early 20s, I'm kind of cynical about a lot of things. (You have to understand this so you know my thought process.)

Anyway...I was subbing for a music class and the teacher has me show them music related videos. Videos about famous composers for the older kids, Barney's Musical Castle (or whatever it's called) for the Kinder and first grade classes. I mostly ignore the videos, but I caught a bit of dialogue that bothered me. The kids are talking about wanting to see a real castle and Barney's like "you can" and they get up their hopes and say "YOU CAN?" and Barney replies (and this is the line that really bothers me) "Yes, by using your imagination." Seems like a harmless thing that would be something Barney would say, but think about it.

The kids want to see a REAL castle and Barney's solution is to imagine one. I don't know, maybe the writers need to figure out the wording on this, but you can't go see a real castle by imagining it. It's like they wrote the kid's line, went and took a really long dump and came back and decided to write the imagination line, forgetting that they used the adjective "real" when describing a castle.

You know what I would do if I was saying I wanted to go see a real castle or whatever and some jack ass says I can in my imagination? I'd punch him square in the dinosaur snout. It sounds like something someone would say sarcastically.

I'm sorry, but that's just poor word choice.
