Carter wandered into the kitchen this morning, eager to tell me about his night with Daddy.
Carter: Daddy told me the Jurrasic Park story last night but he’s not very good on the dinosaurs.
Me: Umm- he didn’t actually write the story, he’s just retelling it.
Carter: Well, he wasn’t very good with the dinosaurs because if it was really the Jurassic period, then Allosaurus and T-Rex wouldn’t be together because Allosaurs is T-Rex’s ancestor.
Note: Carter and I did a little research, and he got most of it right- while it looks like there’s no longer a belief that Allosaurs is T-Rex’s grandma, Allosaurs lived in the Late Jurassic and Tyrannosaurus was during the Cretaceous period. More information can be found here.

Hehehe! Sounds like it’s time to let him critique some of the physics from Star Trek
