I love Thursdays because on Thursdays I get folders from my children’s teachers that have work from the past week. It is the day I read Dominic’s stories. And I laugh and laugh. I hope you will too.
“The Dinosaur Story” by Dominic
Once upon a time there was a T. Rex. Me and Gideon and my daddy and Mona were hunting for dinosaurs.* We saw a T. Rex. We ran because it was hungry to eat humans. Then we saw a Euoplocephalus. We petted it. We rode on the Euoplocephalus and its tail hit the T. Rex’s leg and it fell down. We said, “Are you going to be good, T. Rex?” He said, “Raa Raa!” We rode back home on the T. Rex and gave it meat.

Yes, he used the word “Euoplocephalus,” and he knows what one looks like (although he did not draw it). It is clear he is my son, and fellow lover of words.
*Note: He informed me that this is just pretend because humans never lived with dinosaurs.

Your son is amazing. I like how all his stories end with everybody being good.

He’s like the Steve Irwin of the dinosaur world.

It pleases me that my dinosaur painting lives at your house.

Clearly, this is the perfect place for it. And on the wall next to it, Batman stands guard. Dominic lives in quite a world.
