Boy Mom

~ MaryG

If you could bring back one dinosaur, which one would it be?

“Girl Dads” get a lot of coverage in the media lately. Giant men having tea parties and whatnot…

Well, my son is grown now, but I was a pretty darn good Boy Mom for many years. (I was a Girl Mom too, but I don’t think that’s a thing…that’s just a regular mom. Don’t ask me why.)

One thing we Boy Moms know about is dinosaurs. I don’t know why most boys love dinosaurs, but they do.

The largest and best dinosaur was obviously the Tyrannosaurus rex. That’s the one I’d bring back if I could because it would make so many little boys happy and that would be worth the occasional unfortunate incident with someone’s German Shepherd.

They have a full skeleton of a T. Rex in the Life Sciences building at “Cal” (University of California, Berkeley)
My son and my friend’s son (both age 11) with that huge T. Rex head at Cal in 2012. We took a mother-son trip to the Bay Area that year.

      2. lol, I think the media mostly made it up! But I once met a psychologist at a party and he said you tend to be a bit more critical of your same gender children (mothers of daughters; fathers of sons).
