What a magical time. I am going to let them go on believing for as long as possible.

How old were your kids when you told them?

Told them what? That not only are dinosaurs not extinct, but they can ride one?

Unlike Santa Claus at least dinosaurs actually existed. Much better to get kids excited by science than fairy tales.

Legit question, why are you claiming your kids are different ages in other subforums? Kinda odd.

It's an allergy to honesty. The study that he went with was about high school aged children, he advanced their age because that was the age range he was pretending to be concerned about.

My kids are different ages, this thread was a joke I stole off another forum I visit. My kids are too old for the joke to make sense otherwise.

What in the world would I be waiting for my kids to get older before breaking the news about dinosaurs?

One day you might have to tell them that you hung out in P&N when they ask about your reactions. It will be tough but you can handle it.

TELL ME THE FUCKING JOKE!


The joke is that I’m inferring dinosaurs aren’t real like Santa. And one day I’ll have to spoil the magic and tell hem the truth. Stole off another forum I visit. I found it humorous so posted here. You’re way over analyzing this and I think it has to do with a dislike of the OP. Cheers

I was into dinosaurs when I was young as well. Remember hearing about the first intact dinosaur eggs the had uncovered in mongolia.

It is a fine Joke.

I think it fell "flat" because it's a little bit like when satire is "too close" to reality.

Why is incorrectly suggesting dinosaurs aren't (weren't) real a joke?
To me it was an obvious Reference joke about crazy people who think the universe is 5000 years old and that dinosaurs weren't real and that the fossils were planted.

I thought those people believed that Jesus rode raptors?
