“Tempest. You awake?”
“Just getting there.”
“We need to go out. It’s a beautiful day.”
“What do you want to do out there.”
“There’s our ball. We could play fetch.”
“Yeah, that does sound like fun.”
“What are you sniffing?”
“I’m not sure, but it is a wild thing.”
“Looks like it ran right through here.”
“Yeah. If I didn’t know better, I would say it was a T-Rex.”
“Come on, T-Rex’s have been extinct for centuries.”
“I’m just saying what my nose is telling me.”
“Now I have to ask. When was the last time your nose came in contact with a T-Rex?”
“Okay, you got me. I have never smelled a T-Rex.”
“Could you be picking up the fragrance of Eau de lizard?”
“You know that makes sense. Same scent family.”
“Well, I can tell you it is not a mammal for sure.”
“How do you know?”
Mammals tend to mark their territory. I don’t pick that up.”
“What about fetching the ball?”
“I think we better report to Mom that some kind of lizard is roaming around out here.”
“Will we come back to play ball?”
“Yeah, right after I file my report.”
“Don’t mention the T-Rex, okay?”
“She wouldn’t believe me even if I did.”
“Good.”
