Immitatio Humana I

Here is a Chestertonian thought for you.

Perhaps one of the reasons that children like dinosaurs so much is that dinosaurs are, as it were, of the toddler age of the earth.

It was an era (eras? my memory of paleo-science-history is fuzzy) of sharp, bold contrasts, lizard-like giants and dwarfs composed of miniscule cells.  Giant ferns--giant ferns?--occupied a significant portion of the florasphere.  Volcanos were commonly active.  And of course, it all came crashing down in a giant temper-tantrum in the form of a meteor from outer space--that, at least, is one of the bedtime stories we are still told today.

If you are a toddler, is it not relatable?  Or perhaps I mean: if you are a parent, do you see your toddler in this?
