Off to the Jurassic

Morgan and I could hear the giant Tyrannosaur stalking us. We could feel it closing in. Morgan was trembling. Not in fear but with excitement. I doubted the blanket covering us would provide any protection from the fearsome monster that was stalking us.
"Hide", Morgan whispered.
"Hide", she giggled.
Morgan will be two years old at the end of April.

Suddenly the blanket was torn away and there was a mighty roar. Morgan squealed with delight as the mighty dinosaur towered over us roaring continuously.
"Run, run" I yelled to Morgan.
We jumped up and I took her hands as we ran towards the stairs. I lifted her up as we bounded up the four steps to the back of the house so she had the feeling of jumping up in one large step. She was laughing wildly now but her little legs started pumping as soon as her feet touched the second floor landing.
The giant lizard was hot on our heels.
"Hide, hide, hide" Morgan yelled, as we ran for the safety of the bed in the spare bedroom.
We dove under the covers safe for at least a few seconds.
It was pointless. The tyrannosaurus burst into the room, tore the covers away and let out another mighty roar.
Morgan jumped up screaming, "hide, hide, hide", all the while laughing wildly.
We ran back to the living room hiding again under the safety of our blanket. The t-Rex was hot on our heels.
We ran from room to room for the next half hour seeking safety but the dinosaur was relentless in his pursuit.
Finally the three of us collapsed on the couch for a rest.

"Ya know", I said to the dinosaur, who had transformed back into my 3 1/2 year old grandson Nate, "I'm a much bigger dinosaur than you".
"No granddad", he said.
"But look at me I'm HUGE", I cried and gave him my best roar to prove it.
"NO granddad", Nate exclaimed.
Then Nate moved to the middle of the room and curled his arms outwards from his sides. He crouched slightly and bowed his legs at the same time. He turned his face into the mask of the mighty tyrannosaurus rex and roared at the top of his lungs. Then he started stomping and roaring with so much vigour it brought my wife into the room to see what all the ruckus was about.
Then Nate paused, looked over his shoulder at me, and stated calmly, "THAT'S a big dinosaur granddad".

Oh how I love playing with my grandchildren.
