Today I asked a child of three
What it is he wants to be
When he grows up, and so he
Gave this as a reply to me;

"I want to be GINORMOUS just like you,
And stomp, and roar
Like a dinosaur!
And grow my own beard too!

I want to be able to walk 5 steps
To get wherever I want to go,
Like a scary big T-Rex
Who knows all there is to know!"

It makes me sad to think one day
He won't think I'm so outstanding
But for now we smile, and laugh, and play,
And both minds keep expanding.
The reply made me grin from ear-to-ear
So I decided to share what he said on here.

OK...They weren't his exact words. But they're pretty **** close. Ginormous  is now my new favorite word. I didn't even know it was a legitimate word until just now.
