This morning, we were watching Dinosaur Train, and Maggie said she wished we lived in the Cretaceous period and the the Dinosaur Train came through our house and through the fireplace.
Stagg and I started listing off all the problems with this idea, including:
* A train coming through the living room would make it hard to watch TV
* A train going through the kitchen and laundry rooms would also make it hard to cook, eat and do laundry
* A train going through the house would make it very cold on days like today when it is 20 degrees outside.
* Carnivores are not actually as nice as they seem on TV.
* Our trees would be eaten by the herbivores.
* We are all made of meat, which is what carnivores eat.
* The dinosaurs would probably eat us. quickly.
Maggie thought about it for a while and decided that it would no picnic to have the train in the house. And then she thought about the carnivore part a little more, and decided that she wouldn’t like it if dinosaurs ate Stagg, Katie, Lucy or I, but it would be ok if they ate Oscar and November.
I knew I liked this kid.
