A Hungry Dino

 
Well, going outside? See last dude.. first, this one needs to eat.. or does he?
And then... 
 

 
 

 Climb up to meet me! And then JUMP!
 
 
 
Let´s have some FUN!
 
This is for:
 
 
And a new internet series. Translations by google - all other you have my true words.
I was asked by a Czech colleague if I speak English, "native tongue" I was tested (I am German) - I do. I also speak still a bit French, but only a bit.
 
But... on to the internet stuff I found! 
 
"Our everyday objects and their unusual origin stories
 
Our homes are crammed with all sorts of things. Some we buy for a specific purpose, some are decorative, and others are so commonplace that we hardly even notice them anymore. We consider most of these items perfectly ordinary, but many household appliances have a strange and interesting story to tell.



  
(hehe, don´t you love to "plop" these?)
 
We start with....
 
 
Forks!
 
Amy Azzarito, a design historian, explains that this object, with which we interact every single day of our lives, was once considered immoral and unhygienic. The fork simply looked too similar to the devil's pitchfork."
 
Shoot. November already. How fitting, Mr. Devil. I must welcome you.
 

 
Underneath the calendar is a sign - all you can read is "wonderful day" - I wish you one.
And I struggle on. All I can do. 
 
Henry 🦁

Love baby Henry flying on Daddy's shoulders. The dinosaur exhibit is better than ours, you have inflatable slides and "rock" climbing! When we had dinosaurs they were fenced off so people couldn't climb on them (and maybe fall off and get hurt). I like the mini milk can with spoons and forks and I knew that about the forks.

Happy November! May your November be a happy one. May your weekend be a happy one too. :)

I admit I was astonished people were allowed to touch the dinos! This is Germany after all! Super-strict especially with the thing and the people probably getting hurt! Maybe Germany gets a bit "slack"! Or... the devil sneaks in ;-)

Thank you, I wish it was December and I have my work safe...
This month´ll be stress but I hope for some fun moments, too :-)

Hello and Happy November Iris,
The dinosaurs are awesome, love the one that moves.
Yes, I love popping the bubble wrap.
I think a lot of us are struggling on, it is all we can do.
Love the Henry image.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

Hang in there as you struggle on. That's all any of us can do sometimes. Thanks for the light-hearted dino and the fun fact about those immoral forks!

That playground looks like lots of fun. The immoral fork made me laugh. Fun tidbit.

Those kids looks like they are having a blast climbing on the dinos. And that's so weird that people thought a fork looked like the devil's pitchfork. Happy new month. hugs-Erika
