My daughter used to be into dinosaurs in an huge way
She knew about hundreds of species and could tell you all about them when she was only in Kindergarten. She learned that birds are not only related to dinosaurs, but are so closely related that some argue they are the surviving dinosaurs of today's ecosystem. We liked this idea so much, we all started calling birds dinosaurs. We'd look outside and say, "Hey! There's a dinosaur in the backyard!"
One day, I heard my daughter call out...
"Hey! There's a dinosaur on the fence!"
...to which I replied...
"Then tell him to make up his mind!"
