When I got home from work today, Eli excitedly told me he got a book from the library with a dinosaur on it that looks just like me. I said, "Oh cool" and we went on with our evening activities.
A while later, I was cleaning up the kitchen and saw his dinosaur book on the counter. I turned around and showed Eli the book.
Me: "Eli, is the dinosaur book that has a dinosaur that looks like me?"
Eli: "Yep."
Me: "Do you mean this green T-Rex on the front?" (Please say no. Please say there is a cute little pretty dinosaur somewhere inside this book).
Eli: "Yes!"
Me: "Just to be clear... you think Mommy looks like this dinosaur, right here?" (Pointing to the beast.)
Eli: "Yep."
Me: "Hmmmm..."
Just after that, Mark told me Eli told him this after school. I perked up. "You mean he said the dinosaur looked like you?"
Mark: "No, he told me he got a book with a dinosaur on it that looks like his mom."
Me: "Hmmm. Must be my wide set eyes... and my short arms... and that cheeseburger."
Here's my doppelganger.
The resemblance is uncanny. I mean the green complexion huge teeth and nose how could you not see it…..kids are strange sometimes. What is the story about anything that has to do with a mom? Like is this a mommy dinosaur? Or does Eli just really know how to tease you?
