One winter afternoon, I climbed up into the preschool’s bookloft with Eli, a red-headed three-year-old. He picked a fact book on dinosaurs. As I read to him, his eyes remained glued to the pictures - of tyrannosaurus, stegasaurus and all the other sauruses. When we got to the end, I casually asked, “Hey, Eli, what happened to the dinosaurs anyway?” And with deep solemnity, he nodded his head and replied, “They died in the museums”.
