Her assignment was to write a letter to convince someone in her household that she should be able to keep a pet dinosaur.
She reads it to me:
Mom, I think you should let me have a dinosaur because it can help you reach the cat if it goes on the roof. If it goes in a tree, or a skyscrapper. It will be a big help around the house. It will be helpful because it could help paint the top of the house or it could help paint the studio.
I reply:
Do we have a studio?
She responds:
Dream on, mom, those cost money.
