What sucks about dinosaurs is that there's a trillion different kinds with all sorts of weird hard-to-pronounce names. And that little guy must know the name of EVERY SINGLE ONE.
Ok. I know a couple different dinosaur names, but when they start to deviate from the main 5 I know (brontosaurus, T-rex, stegosaurus, pterodactyl, triceratops), I have no idea what they are. And that little guy is not impressed.
Ok, so half the dinosaurs we call "jumping dinosaurs" and the other half are "long neck dinosaurs" and some of them are "open mouth dinosaurs." Or they simply get a new name each time they're played with and I pray that the little guy doesn't remember what I called them the last time.
And that's why dinosaurs are annoying -- their names are just too hard to remember. I guess I'm not cut out to be a paleontologist.
(Also, stepping on dinosaurs or accidentally getting hit in the face with one is annoying, but that's a whole other story.)
Hi, you're back!!! I probably know the dinosaurs that were in Jurassic Park and that's it. Cute that you've called the rest jumping or long-neck ;). When our son turned 1, he got this Trucks book from Auntie. It was great, but the names were so much longer now. Plus, I like to read everything in English and Chinese and I didn't know how to translate tractor and bulldozer. LOL. Hope you keep posting :). Love your images!
ReplyDeleteNext time there's an earthquake I'm going to shake my fist at the sky and yell "Jumping dinosaur!!!!!"
ReplyDeleteHaha, I'm totally behind on this whole blogging-consistently thing :)
ReplyDeleteOh TRUCKS. Don't get me started on how many names those things have. I'm even more clueless about all their names and functions. And I have no idea how to translate anything either.. so everything is just "DIG DIRT CAR" in Chinese. :)
Everything that looks remotely like a kangaroo is a "jumping dinosaur" even though I doubt they actually jumped around. :)
ReplyDeleteLMAO...this cracks me up because I was totally this kid as a kid. I had lots of toy dinosaurs at that age, but I think I knew most of the names (somehow). I'd probably take my kid to the computer to Google them all!
ReplyDelete:) I'm pretty sure the paleontologists just call them "jumping dino" and "long neck dinos" too ... faster and easier to say than their real names.
ReplyDeleteHehe, dig dirt car!
ReplyDeleteHi Kimmie - thanks for reading my blog and for following! Yours is is hilarious ... I don't have kids, but do have nieces and nephews and relate to some of these stories!
ReplyDeletehaha I have no doubt we will be having similar coversations with C in a few years!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a mommy yet, but I just read your entire blog and I was cracking up the entire time. This is so cute! I would probably do the exact same thing and hope they didn't remember the old names I used!
ReplyDeleteAw thanks! I feel bad that I've kind of neglected this blog because drawing pictures on the computer is so time consuming! Thanks for visiting! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL! I loved this post. I guess I will introduce my son to cars instead:)
