I was teaching my 9-year-old niece a little bit of history one day. The conversation (and the lesson) went like this:
 
1. The history books say that dinosaurs roamed the Earth millions of years ago.
"But Auntie," asked my niece, "How did they do it? Did they roam around on roller skates?"
 
2. Some dinosaurs used to eat trees for breakfast.
"But Auntie," my niece said, "How could a baby dinosaur fit a whole tree into its tummy?"
 
3. Some dinosaurs had bat-like wings and were able to fly.
"Did they look like dragons?" she asked, a look of wonder on her face, "Wow! I'd like to ride on the back of a dragon!"
 
4. The first mammals covered the Earth by walking on all fours to cross the continents.
"Auntie," she piped up again, "didn't they have cars back then?"
 
5. Cavemen used to hunt and kill their food by sneaking upon it and killing it with their spears and axes.
My niece looked at me in awe before asking, "Why didn't they use their trucks?"
 
I just had to laugh!
