A friend and colleague stopped by for a short chat this afternoon. "Do you all have any plans for the long weekend?" I asked him.
"Charlie wants to go the zoo," he told me about his 4-year-old son.
"That should be fun," I said.
"He wanted to see the dinosaurs," he laughed, "so my wife had a little talk with him last week to explain that the dinosaurs are extinct."
"I'm sure he was disappointed," I laughed, too.
"And sad!" my friend said. "I came home from work and he was all upset. 'Daddy! A meteor hit the dinosaurs,' he told me. 'They're all gone, so they don't have any at the zoo.'"
