“I know the t-rex’s last name,” asserts my funny 4-year old. “What’s the t-rex’s last name?” I ask.
“His name is T-rex Stupid. But shh. It’s a secret. And you can’t tell my teachers.” “Why is the dinosaur’s last name Stupid?” I ask.
“Because dinosaurs were stupid. And they ate people.” “Stupid isn’t a very nice word,” I respond. “But you’re right, Sophie. Dinosaurs were not known for their wicked intelligence. They’re brains were very, very small.”
“I know. That’s why his name is T-rex Stupid. But don’t tell my teachers.”
