The Mayor is learning about dinosaurs in pre-k.
He's become a veritable font of dinosaur factoids, enthusiastically overflowing with random details.
He was unable to sit still or eat his breakfast this morning until he released the pressure mounting mightily under his dinosaur detail valve.
"Mom! Mom! Do you know what?"
"What, Mayor?"
"A triceratops and a velociraptor were fighting... and there was a sandstorm... and they died in the sand WHILE they were fighting!"
"Really?"
"Yes!!! It's the only known fossil of dinosaurs fighting! They DIED while they were FIGHTING!!"
"Oh," I noted.
[I tried to be enthusiastic.]
The Rooster, who had been quietly chewing her toast, lifted her eyes to mine.
"Do you know who won that fight, Mama?"
"No, Rooster. Who won?"
"The sandstorm," she said sardonically and returned to the business of eating her toast.

Wow the Rooster is very very astute, and she probably would know what "astute" means!
Love when us girls can keep things in perspective so nicely!
This story cracked me up.
Thanks for sharing these stories, as I am locked away writing my masters thesis, your stories are always a bright point in my day!
I just love the way the Rooster's mind thinks... Poor Mayor all excited and she calmly lets us know how it really is :)
Wisdom of the rooster.
She cracks me up. I can't wait for all that sarcasm and attitude become pubescent.
OK that got a LOL!
Smart cookie.
My son's developing an interest in dinosaurs and I have to say, the books should all come with name pronunciation guides!
A comedian, that one!!
your kids, they kill me
OMG she is clever! (Not to mention funny.)
Sandstorms, I always cheer for them. And Rooster.
HA! *snort* Clever girl ;)
Dang she is gooo! How old is she again?
She's smart and funny. The best combination.
Wow! That's one of the smartest things I've ready today. Truly. Good for Roo!
Pretty clever for first thing in the morning. I can't even spell dinosaur until I have had my coffee.
Oh yes, the sandstorm r0xx0rs!
One sharp tack you've got there!
Very clever!!
Rarr!!!!!
She sounds so adorable!
Tyler loves dinosaurs to this day-- the love affair began when he was tiny, and now as an almost-7-yr-old, he has a ton of amazing books on dinos!
Damn that Mother Nature. She wins every time.
I really really like that girl.
She would fit in here with my Damn Emos.
HA HA HA HA! She's gonna be a brilliant writer or something.
