Me: wow, that’s a pretty scary looking dinosaur. I wouldn’t want to see it come jumping out at me!
Ian: well, I would just swing my shovel and it would be very pointy and dangerous.
Me: you mean if that dinosaur came at you?
Ian: yes. I would just swing my shovel and it would have to stay back. Swish swish, I’d swing it back and forth.

Whacking danger in the face with a shovel… He’s a boy after my own heart.
