Adalia is studying dinosaurs this week in school. She brought home a picture she made with ink stamps and was excited to show Finnian:
A: "Look at my dinosaurs, Finnian!"
F: "Oh! Let me see!"
A: "They got too stinky."
F: "What? They got too stinky?"
A: "Yeah, they all died because they got too stinky."
F: "Adalia! (giggle) They didn't get stinky. They got extinct."
A: "Oh, yeah. Extinct."
I don't know... I think she may be onto something.
Maybe all those dinosaurs needed was a bunch of patchouli oil and breath mints - and they'd still be with us, rockin' out!
ReplyDeleteI bet they did stink before they became EX-stink. Do you think they smelled like lutefisk? Poor Grandpa wouldn't like it if lutefisk became extinct would he? Its so great to have a big brother help you with things you learn in school.
