How the hell do I pronounce this?
What the hell is Carcharodontosaurus?
My daughter used to love dogs. Her room was covered in dalmatians and mastiffs
Then she saw that dinosaur movie, and now all she wants is prehistoric thunder lizards
I didn't mind the new obsession, with the books, decorations, and Christmas gift lists
But the further into the hobby she falls and learns, I'm now constantly asking
"How the hell do I pronounce this?"
What do I do when my daughter asks me a question and points to a picture titled
"Therizinosaurus"
How am I supposed to find the toy of my kid's favorite dinosaur when she tells me it's a
"Pachycephalosaurus"
I swear it'd be easier to converse with Cthulhu then convince my daughter I too can say
"Archaeopteryx"
Whatever happened to just "T-Rex," "Triceratops," and "Raptors?"
...What? There are 25 different types of Raptors now?! Shit...
I'm actually looking forward to the day when she takes an interest in boys.
