Long, Long Ago..13 Years Ago!

This one is for Will and Jen:

I’m just not interested in the mammoths. They're boring. Monkeys, Rhinos, Saber-tooth tigers, cheetahs- I already know a lot about those animals. But I know more about dinosaurs than those animals.

A long time ago- 13 years ago- dinosaurs were not dinosaurs. They were sea creatures. Then they growed into dinosaurs. Everything just growed from the ocean. I watched Dinosaur Planet and I saw some cool things!*

Did you know there is a new creature that looks like a dimetrodon, but it isn’t a dimetrodon? It’s a big giant dinosaur that used to live a long time ago. There were also some mean lobsters that growed out of their skin. There was a fish that is not a fish that growed bigger and stronger and dangerouser than those mean lobsters. It got one of the lobsters when he wasn’t looking. The fish just caught it with its sharp teeth.

We had a picnic outside while momma was inside the house cleaning. Then I had a great idea. We could play dinosaurs. The pirates got them. But T-Rex came to the rescue. So did triceratops and pterodactyl. I like to play dinosaurs in the dirt. The dinosaurs won and the pirates lost. The pirate’s heads are all in the dirt because the dinosaurs have powerful power.

I wish I could do this all day, every day- even dark time and party days and church days.
