Dinosaurs

Isabella: Mommy, why do we have to go home now? I don't want to go home yet.

Mommy: Because it is late and getting dark outside.

Isabella: Oh, and the dinosaurs will come out to get us?

Mommy: (thinking I need to explain to Issey about dinosaurs) Well Isabella, let me tell you something about dinosaurs. They are extinct... They once roamed the earth millions of years ago but due to the glaciers, they all died and are now extinct.

Isabella: (paused... you could hear her thinking in her head) They are stinky and dirty?

Mommy: No, they are extinct... That means they are no longer around.

Isabella: Oh, that is silly mommy.
