Typing for Dinosaurs

Finn and my conversation about dinosaurs this afternoon involved questions such as:

"How did Sue get to just bones, Mommy?"
"Where did Sue come from?"
"How did Sue die?"

Knowing diddly about Sue, I went straight to the Internet and at least was able to tell Finn she is 65 million years old and was discovered in South Dakota.  He asked to see a video of her discovery.  Such videos involved paleontologists talking, no dinosaur action.

So, Finn asked to see a video of real dinosaurs.  Hmmm, well, I tried to explain that dinosaurs walked the earth long before the invention of video cameras..."No, Mom, just type in dinosaurs!"
