 We don't just have dinner in our house. We have dinner and entertainment. Two activities are always on the program: Dinosaur Comedy Club and Dinosaur Storytime. During joke time, we go around the table taking turns telling jokes. When nobody can come up with a new joke, my 7-year-old launches into some fantastical story involving his giant imaginary T. rex friend Rex.
Each family member has become pretty practiced at crafting the dinnertime dino jokes. We've had to learn the source material.

The dazzling world he’s invited us into is one I forgot that every adult still has a lifetime pass to enter. One with dinosaurs driving cars, walking on crutches, and packing suitcases for nice vacations.
