Current Mood: amused

It's a room in the Children's museum with blocks, a pirate ship, a toy kitchen, and a heck of a lot of plastic dinosaurs.

Another adult was in there teaching his toddler the sounds of the various toy animals (many of which are dinosaurs), and dinosaurs of course, go raaaaar!!!!!

At this point, Mona points out to me that we don't, of course, *know* what dinosaurs said.

I mean, can you picture it? Here you are, walking around, munching on a couple of plants - and you hear it. The scariest sound in the world...

^{MEEMEEMEEMEEMEEMEEMEEEEEE! MEEMEEMEEMEEMEEEEE!}

And you run in terror, because that is the sound of the T. Rex.

^{MEEMEEMEEMEEMEEEEEEEE!}

*cracks up laughing*

Mind, Mona may have been a bit loopy from fasting, but the image her innocent little comment brought in my mind is well worth it. I know now what I'll be teaching Evangeline to say....

Say it with me now:

^{MEEMEEMEEMEEMEEMEEMEEMEEMEEEEEEEEEEE!}

You know, that's actually a very good point. What noises do crockigators and other large lizard-like creatures of today make? Mostly gurgly grunts, throaty hisses, and even plinky squeaks (like 'gators to their offspring and such) if anything at all.

I always found it a bit strange that dinosaurs are portrayed as roaring all the time in both documentaries and fiction, as I can't think of any carnivore alive today that roars or howls all the time. It seems kind of counter-productive to hunting to repeatedly announce your presence to all the prey in a mile's radius...
