The Girl Who Didn't Believe in Dinosaurs

Once upon a time, there lived a girl who didn't believe in dinosaurs.

Don't let that master's degree fool you - she doesn't know what she's talking about
She'll tell you it's a big hoax put on by a bunch of scientists who buried "bones" all over and told everyone giant lizards used to rule the world.

The basis for her reasoning? A childhood camping trip and an unexpected frosty night. Not surprisingly, her toes didn't last long in those cotton Lisa Frank socks, and it wasn't long before her size-3 feet turned into size-3 ice blocks. Her family (in their cozy wool socks) slept like babies while Lauren spent the night gnawing on her knees in the fetal position. The next day, the family hiked around some prehistoric sites. I'm sure that the trauma induced from the previous night's freeze fest had nothing to do with the fact that when she saw some fossilized dino footprints, her response was "yeah right...there is no way those things are real."

And that's it.

That's why she doesn't believe.

Now, if you are a University of Calgary alum (like both my parents), you'll probably have a bone to pick with anyone who doesn't believe in your school's mascot, but we won't get into that right now.


Really though, can you imagine a world without this guy?

No way LBT would've had enough content to make it past the first sequel if dinos were phony.

Or this family?

What is not believable about a dinosaur in a diaper?

And how would the toys have ever saved Woody if it weren't for Rex?


The most ironic part of all? Guess her driver of choice in Mario Kart. . .

I'll give you a hint: He's green and he isn't Mario's brother.
You don't need to see the Smithsonian's T-Rex to know that dinosaurs are real.It's just something you feel in your heart.

Believe.
