Day 3. There is a Dinosaur in your back yard

**It is currently 12:15am and after a long day of SAT testing, watching the play and crying my eyes out because I'm gonna miss the seniors, I am in no mind set to write. Instead I am going to complete this entry before I go to work tomorrow morning.**


It was what seemed like a typical Saturday morning, lazily I rolled out of bed and talked over to my curtains and snapped them up to let light into my room. I turned around and started to get myself ready for the day, it wasn't until I returned to the window a good twenty minutes later did I notice it.

"Holy crap." I muttered to myself. Outside of my bedroom window, sitting in my back yard was a tiny dinosaur, no more than 2 feet tall. Thinking I was just imagining it I walked downstairs.

"Hey mom, have you looked outside at all this morning?" I asked, hoping she would be able to tell me I was seeing things.

"No sweetie, I haven't"

Crap.

"Why do you ask?"

"Well it's a lovely day, why don't you take a look." I watched her closely as she moved toward the window

"OH MY!" She looked at me, "There's a Dinosaur in our back yard!" I guess I wasn't crazy after all.

"I know."

"What are we going to do!?"

"Well it looks nice enough, and it's rather tiny." I paused, looking out the window and the blueish-green dragon munching on our trees. "I'm gonna go get a closer look" I walked outside, and slowly made my way toward the dragon. It kept munching on the plant life, hardly noticing my existence. "Hey there little fella" I spoke softly, reaching my hand out to touch it. It lifted its head up, and moved closer to me. I froze as it walked into my hand and started nuzzling me. I instantly relaxed. "Mom, come out here!" I called to her.

She slowly made her way down our back steps,"Are you sure its safe?"

"Yeah, look at uh....Him, I think."

"Well he is rather cute."

"So what are we going to do with him?" I asked

"Well we have to think of a name, don't we?"

"Why?" I was confused, why did we need a name for a dinosaur we weren't going to have for very much loner.

"Well people are going to ask for his name when you tell them you have a pet dragon at home!"
