No, not for the usual reasons. Today I won tickets for "Walking with Dinosaurs". I was listening to my usual sports radio program on the way to the office (The Border Patrol on 810, if you must know). They started talking about the show, which I'd heard of but just couldn't bring myself to buy tickets for. They took two callers for 2 tickets and I was one of them! What a deal! After a quick call to secure a babysitter and a lunch trip to pickup the tix, it was set.
Jo didn't tell Sam about the tickets, so I got to when I picked him up. He was pretty excited, having seen a few commercials. He did great at the show and took it all in. I would try to explain the show, but so far every time I try to, it comes out sounding like a cross between the Disney Electric Parade and a science lecture.

At one point in the show, Sam said something I thought was so cute. I don't want to give away the plot (no, there really wasn't one), but a mama dinosaur helped out a baby and they approached each other afterwards. Sam said, "What do you think they are saying, Mom?"
This type of question is not at all uncommon in our house.
"Um, I don't know, Sam. What do you think?" I responded. This type of response is not at all uncommon in our house.
"He's saying, 'You're welcome.'" He was so certain of the conversation, and I was just so pleased it was polite!
The one other notable thing about the trip was that when we got out of the show, it was pouring. Big time. Instead of waiting it out, we made a dash for our car, which was fortunately parked close. There we were, running through the rain. Sam clutching his new $20 plastic dinosaur and me clutching keys. We yelled and laughed as we ran-- hey, we already looked plenty crazy-- and it was actually pretty fun. The only thing I had to dry off with in the car was kleenex, so there you go. We got home to find Megan and Kate coming up from a tornado warning stay in the basement. Crazy!
