Last weekend we went to a "Prehistoric Creatures" workshop at the Children's Museum. Julien had been looking forward to it for months. It was fun, but we had thought that Julien might actually learn something about dinosaurs. Instead he knew the answer to every question. Teacher: "Some dinosaurs only eat meat. Does anyone know what they are called?"
Julien: "Carnivores. They eat plant eaters"
T: "Right. And what are plant eaters called?"
J: "Herbivores"
T: "Right, and humans eat both plants and meat."
J: "We have pointy teeth in the front for tearing and teeth in the back for grinding."
T: "Right"
Julien wasn't the only one answering the questions, but he knew the answers to the more technical questions. We did all get to go behind the scenes into the Paleo lab and all the kids got to touch a Triceratops skull fossil. Afterwards one of the assistants came up to me and said "Julien must really like dinosaurs. I think he could teach this class!" In any case Julien had fun. Afterwards we went for a ride on the carousel.
