D- Dinosaur Logic

D – Dinosaur Logic

Daughter: Papa, have you ever met any dinosaurs when they were ruling this world?

Papa: No, beta! They existed when even I was not born. Do I look that old to you? (There was a mischievous smile on the face)

Daughter: Oh! Is that so? I think, you just missed them.

Papa: Just missed them? What do you mean? Absolutely, no! Dinosaurs went extinct several millions of years ago!

The Daughter’s eyes turned big in wonder.

Daughter: But Papa I heard you saying mumma that you’ve seen the world more than her!

Papa: Not everything, beta! I mean, I’ve seen black-and-white TVs, rotary phones, and floppy disks. I am a few years older than your mom. That is why I said I have seen the world more than her. I am old, but not as much as the dinosaur!

Daughter: Hmm… But Papa why do your knees start making sounds like dinosaur bones when you take the stairs or take me in your lap?

Papa: That’s not because I’m ancient, that’s because I carry you and you are also growing so it creates pressure on my knees!

Daughter: And you always groan when you sit down. Just like a T-Rex would if it had to sit on a small chair!

Papa: Sigh I groan because grown-ups have responsibilities.

Daughter: What’s that?

Papa: Something scarier than dinosaurs.

Daughter: Whoa! Oh Papa What do they eat?

Papa: Our time, our energy, and sometimes it takes our sleep too!

Daughter: It sounds like dinosaurs were much better creatures than Groan.

Papa: Maybe, but dinosaurs never got chance to enjoy ice cream, video games, or even a playhouse!

Daughter: Hmm… But they also didn’t have homework, and school too. They were free to play anytime. Poor Me 🙁

Papa: Touché.

Daughter: So… are you sure Papa you weren’t around them when they were here?

Papa: Yes, Beta. Sure! (With a funny face)

Daughter: Okay. But, if you ever remember meeting one, please tell me!

Papa: (Father laughed out loud) Deal, but I’d probably remember something like that!

Child: Not True. You forget where you put your glasses all the time.

Papa:(laughing uncontrollably) … Beta, go dear, and do your homework.
