not a real dinosaur

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

The Easter Bunny brought Kenny a dinosaur egg toy that hatches when the egg is submersed in water.

At one point today he and Mari were heading out to run errands, but he was concerned about leaving the thing on its own. Specifically, he wanted a lid put on the water-filled container in which the egg sat, because he didn't want the dinosaur fleeing the apartment once it hatched. He was a bit put out when I later reinforced Mari's answer that it was a toy dinosaur that would hatch.

It's turned out to be a parasaurolophos. One of my personal favourites, and one of Kenny's.

It may be that when we no longer know what to do we have come to our real work, and that when we no longer know which way to go we have come to our real journey. The mind that is not baffled is not employed. The impeded stream is the one that sings.

—Wendell Berry
