Note: The following conversation took place last night. We originally saw SUE the T. Rex in Chicago in February (four months ago) and saw her again in St. Louis two months ago.
Scene: Molly's bathtime... in the bath tub. Molly coloring on the sides of the tub.
Molly: Mommy? Do you remember when we went to see SUE the T. Rex?
Me: Yes, Molly.
Molly: No, not the first time we went to see her... in Chicago... at the Field Museum. The second time we saw her. In St. Louis. With your friend there.
(Ed. note - I have a friend who works there who met us and showed us around.)
Me: Um, yes, Molly. I remember the second time we saw her. With my friend.
Molly: Do you remember how they had the coloring areas? Where you could color dinosaur pages?
Me: Yes...
Molly: And do you remember how they had the area where you could dig for dinosaur bones?
Me: Yes...
Molly: And how they had the movie? In the tent? The one with no sound? The one that was all about how you could go on vacation and dig for dinosaur fossils?
Me: Yes, Molly. I do remember that movie. You have a very good memory.
Molly: I'd like to go on vacation and dig for dinosaur bones one day - just like Sue Hendrickson.
Me: Sure, Molly. Maybe one day we can go on vacation and dig for dinosaur bones.
Molly (Worried sigh): But we don't have any palentologist clothes.
Me: Hmmm.... where could we find some palentologist clothes?
Molly: I bet we could find them at the palentologist store.
Me: I bet you're right.
