Leo loves Tina (but he prays to dinosaurs)

Need I say more? He's only four and she's older by a few months, but I think he's smitten. Of course, Leo is (still) more interested in worshipping dinosaurs than chasing girls. He told me the other night that he prays to dinosaurs. He said this in both English and Chinese. I asked him quite stupidly "What do you say to dinosaurs when you pray to them?" prompting the impatient response, "And dinosaurs pray to me."

It's not about the message, it's the medium -- an open line of reciprocal communication with creatures he believes all powerful, gigantic, ancestral and impossibly distant.

The beginnings of religious feeling....
