heaven in washington?

Tonight at dinner, Dizzle told me that she wishes that dinosaurs lived with us. I told her that it wasn't possible for that to happen because dinosaurs are extinct. Simple enough, right? Well, she didn't know what extinct meant, which opened up a whole other can of worms.

Dizzle: "What does extinct mean?"

Me: "Well, extinct means that there are no more left of something and that there can never be anymore. Scientists believe that a meteor hit the earth a very long time ago. This caused a climate change that the dinosaurs couldn't adapt to. It was either too hot or too cold for them and they all died."

Dizzle: "OK, but where did they all go?"

Me: "Um, I don't know. Maybe heaven."

Dizzle: "Or Washington."

Me: "Why Washington?"

Dizzle: "Because that's where everyone goes when they die."

And I was left speechless. And laughing. But mostly speechless ...

Too funny! Well, there are Dino's at the Smithsonian in Washington DC, so.... I hate to say it but you'll only prove her right if you go for a visit.

By the way, WHO is your photographer?

Is that Washington, DC or Washington the state because I was just in DC and I am pretty sure there were no dinosaurs and it was NOT heaven!
