Extinct vs De-stinked

In the car yesterday, Benjamin brought up the subject of dinosaurs.

B: Do dinosaurs live around here?
M: No, dinosaurs don't live in TX. They are all extinct now.
B: De-stinked?
M: Extinct means that they are no longer living. Some people think they have found their bones. But that is all that is left of the dinosaurs.
B: What??!!! You mean that the skunks came and destinked all the dinosaurs??

I can't remember what Russell said in response to that...I was too busy laughing!

I love to sit back & watch him learn and try to figure things out. It can be so confusing for him at times.
