Do you remember those summer days when you were a kid and had nothing to do but swim? And when you were done swimming, you’d lay out in the sun and dry off and then go swimming again until your mother came out with hot dogs and Iced Tea? Well, It was one of those kind of days when my brother and I found the worlds smallest dinosaur.
It was a warm but breezy day and Wak and I just got out of the pool. We were waiting for Mom to bring us some Macaroni and Cheese and Watermelon when Wak looked at the concrete. He spotted an incredible thing. It was a dinosaur smaller than an ant. In fact smaller than one of those small brown ants.
The dinosaur was brownish black with a spiked vertebrae down it’s back. It was too small to hear the sound that it made, but I’m sure if you were an ant, it would have been very loud.
We watched the Dinosaur for quite a while. I’m not sure what my brother thought, but I dreamt of how to make money with it. Remember the Looney Toons cartoon where the bum finds the singing frog and takes it to Broadway? Well, I was going to sell it to some wealthy museum. I’m sure they would have paid through the nose for it.
Wak, thought that we should tell my mother about it for confirmation, so I went to the screened window and yelled for her. When I got back, the following happened in slow motion……..
I sat down next to the dinosaur, and I heard my mother open the outside door. She started walking towards us with a plate of Macaroni and Cheese in one hand and a plate of Watermelon in the other. As she walked towards us, a breeze came by and the Worlds Smallest Dinosaur was picked up and lost forever, along with my dreams of becoming rich. It was a cruel trick by mother nature and I will never forgive her for it.

I love watermelon. Especially when it's been drowned in Vodka. Was that the kind of watermelon you were eating? I mean, seriously. A dinosaur? You got too much sun that day it sounds like.
ReplyDeleteAsk Wakanuki, he was there.
ReplyDeleteThe way I remember it was that the miniature stegosaurus was approximately about 5/16" high by 7/16" long.
ReplyDeleteThis story is otherwise true. I found it within the stress gap of the segments of concrete driveway, and somehow brought it to the picnic table. The wind did blow it away.
