HAPPY NATIONAL DINOSAUR DAY!

Some calendars say it’s yesterday (May 15) and others put it on June 1. But hey, we can celebrate twice, right? Truth be told, for me most days are dinosaur dayst. Do dinosaurs still exist today?

Well naturally, lots of these kids want a T. rex as a pet. I kinda wish they’d asked those kids how many wanted to be a T. rex. How about the kids in your family? How many of them think that one day it will be possible to own or be a dinosaur?

Quiz answer: False! Pterosaurs are not dinosaurs.
