Out Ioway

My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of Heaven and earth,
He will not let your foot slip-
He who watches over you will not slumber.
-Psalms 121:2,3

Boys, Dinosaurs and Doing Without

Much in popularity of late is the nifty dinosaur set Trevor received from Ardith for being the ringbearer.

Trevor and Nolan were "doing a story" with said ferocious pieces of plastic, before breakfast. It included the usual dinosaur sounds, plus a few added effects from space stories, and random references to Kung Fu Panda....

Ma: "Hey guys...not so loud..."

Nolan: "But dinosaurs ARE loud."

Trevor: "Yeah, WEAL loud!"

(back to their story)

Nolan: "OK...these guys had a fantastic plan....it would make vegetation spring up, right in front of them!"

*more eating and blasting noises*

Trevor: "And THESE guys wu-hoh cloaked!"

Trevor: "THESE guys wu-hoh DOU-BOH cloaked, so you couldn't see them at all! "

*space noises*

Nolan: "And then (holds up huge T-Rex), the KING guy got attacked..."

"POW, POW, POW...!"

Nolan: "And he asked, 'Hey, why did you guys attack me?' "

Trevor: (dutifully repeating) "Hey, why did you guys attack me?"

Nolan: "We didn't attack you...Punch him! PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH! HI-YA !"

Trevor: "Hi-YA !!"

....later that day....

Nolan: "Hey Mommy, this is a ship that can MAKE dinosaurs."

"hmmmmm"

Trevor: "...and this is the Dinosaur Crystal of Power."

"uh-huh"

I am only now beginning to feel the full deprivation of being limited to amusements like Tinker Toys and Lincoln Logs.

I did, however, watch many of the original Star Trek episodes, and they can't take that away from me, oh no...they can't take that away from me.

All you let me see before I was 9 was Next Generation.

It's pretty much your father's and Jason's faults.

Daddy got computers going for all the kids--at this house--and Jason went and left his Star Trek Armada game at home, which the boys found.
