"You did WHAT??!!" Grrr roared at his son in outrage.
"A robot dino dad" Grrr jr replied.

"Look dad, you said that I needed a job for the summer if I wanted to take out Rexy.
 This is not ..well, bad.."

"Not bad..not bad..walking around with a wire taped to your tail is good ?"
Grrr roared..his eyes deep red.

Gone on vacation
Grrr

"You..ah.. Grrr,  ah... I never had any human friends. You think I could stop in once in a while?"
"Don't see why not. You like coffee and donuts or Root beer?" Said Grrr.
"More into tea and crumpets, see the family swam up from Belize, used to be British Honduras, and we  kept a lot of the old country habits." Al said.
"What do you think about bagpipe music Al?"
"You kidding Grrr?" I love the pipes."
"So do we. So come on down." : )

"That seems a bit strange, having human friends Grrr." Al said.
"Not at all. When we got out of the movie business and into education, Bob gave me my big chance to be a class dino . Stef and Gretta became friends as well.
you know how Raptors feel about their pack.
"Oh, a honor thing for you both". Al replied with a nod."Now I understand and I will pass the word".
"Thanks Al." Grrr said

To the Eight Grade of 2012.
I will not be able to attend your graduation.
I have known you from K to 7th grade and think well of you all.
You are fine wolf children and I wish a long, honorable and happy life to you all.
Grrr and Gretta give you three roars.

"You gonna build, Grrr?' Al asked  "Unless you have a spot with a cave, need someplace to keep my root beer and for my human friends to visit." Grrr said. Al replied, "I  heard that you had human friends..that dino/human retirement place,  must be a California thing, here humans and reptiles don't get along unless you play golf then we share the courses, but seldom play together.

"Some humans are ok". replied Grrr. "Pass the word, pal, that unless they wanna be lunch, the local gators had best be polite."
"Why, you and Gretta gonna get  Jurassic ?"Al asked.
 "Yep" said Grrr, with a big toothy T-Rex grin.

"Hey, Al, how are you?" Grrr roared "Not bad" Al Gator replied.
Al and Grrr were friends from way back. They had met when Grrr was in films.
Al had gone into TV doing sifi movies and selling swamp  in the off season.
 Now that Grrr was in Florida
he had decided that he needed his own swamp to relax in and so was
happy to find that Al had gone into swamp real estate.
"How can I help Grrr?" Al asked.
"I am looking for a nice swamp about 350...500 acres
to relax in. Grrr said.You know something like the Jurassic."
"Do my best." Al replied.

Eating the neighbors ?
"I was getting to that, there was this group of old humans in front of us and some bad humans  ran  up and grabbed their handbags." Gretta  said " I told them to stop, but they yelled bad words and tried to hit me. I had to defend myself and Stef  jumped in by my side. We could not stand by and let those bullies rob and hurt  those nice old people.  Is it my fault, dear, if those bad humans just sort of  came apart?"

Eating the neighbors ?
"Oh That, Grrry don't be silly.
 Those were bad humans. As we were coming out of the Mall, they had a fine collection of shoes and Stef found the nicest pair with..." "Babe, the human parts?" Grrr said.

Eating the neighbors ?
"Babe" Grrr said "This is about the parts of humans that they have been finding;  a head by the pool... a few arms and legs outside Wally's World.  Kid, love ya, but if we are going to have our cave around humans, you cannot tear them up...it makes the other humans nervous."

PLEASE WATCH THIS.
IT MAY BE THE START OF THE THIRD GREAT AWAKENING.

Eating the neighbors ?
"Of course" said Gretta, "Stef is my sister, and you and Bob are always getting into trouble together.   Remember when you and Bob made that hang glider and landed in the swamp? Stef and I told you guys but...."

Eating the neighbors ?

Now babe" Grrr said, "you remember that we picked a human/dino retirement community so we could stay near Bob and Stef?.  How we said that we would miss them and you said that you feel Stef is your best friend? You know we talked about not preying on the other humans? That Bob and Stef would not be  comfortable with that and might even see it as bad manners, if we tear the other humans to bits without good reason?"

Eating the neighbors
As he was looking at the "Dino Report", with his morning root-beer, Grrr noticed that
they were finding bits of people all over town; an arm here..a leg there...a head or two.
"Babe, you have a second?" he asked Gretta.

"Grrr went out to the waiting  group of Rexes  in the car.
 "Tom, I have to skip this one".
"What!  Grrr, are you nuts?... You know the rules. If you miss The Opening,
you cannot take part in Jungle Season  till next year!!!
"Point of Honor, Tom, I am needed here."
"Ok  Grrr,  hope what ever it is is worth it. See you in two weeks". replied Tom.
Grrr had spend 24 years in History Class.
He knew The  History of the Reformation and he also knew that his son needed him.
Grrr jr  passed on Monday.

Grretta had packed Grrr a fine lunch of dinoburgers and root-beer.  Bob had agreed to fill in for Grrr at the "Wellness Center". Grrr had one foot out the door when he heard Grrr, Jr.  throw his history book at the wall. Walking back into the cave, Grrr went to his son's room and asked,

"Why are you hurting that  beloved history book?"

Grrr, Jr.  looked up at his father in despair, "I am going to fail on Monday, I will be off the team and not able to take Rexy to the Prom...I study and study dad, you know I do. But

I just don't  get it...The Reformation.. Luther..Calvin..Cromwell..I just don't get it".

"Hold on son."

It had been a long tough few months: The wedding, the new job, kids learning to drive.
"BUT NOW..NOW" roared Grrr joyfully, "Tomorrow was the first day of Jungle Season", an event looked forward to all  by all T-Rex.
Two wonderful weeks back in the jungle, hunting ..fishing..drinking root beer..
Grrr had LONG looked forward to this.

Grrr talking with a wolfchild.

"Right" said Grrr, "That is what we should have seen but we were too into our craft."
"It was not until we saw the 'final rushes'. "  Grrr continued, "after the film had been cut that I knew what that %$^&*(*&%% producer had done.  In order to save money, cut production costs ...he..he had ME ..ME defeated by that  lousy science fiction Sunday morning cartoon blue screen so called dinosaur and turned Gretta into a PC  wimp!!!. They left our best scenes on the cutting room floor.
 That Bob, is the worse thing you CAN do to an actor.!!!!!
The Coward  made sure that he was not at the showing or I would have chewed him up on the spot.
We called the studio to complain..no joy..and then called our lawyers but that  'editing pending needs of the story line to be resolved by  the producer' clause was ironclad.
That is when we turned our backs on tinsel town and went into education."
"All is well that ends well" Bob said. "What do you mean?" asked Grrr.
"Well,"  Bob said,"You and Gretta and the family became the class dinos for 7th  grade and made 24 years of kids happy."
Grrr roared with pride and happiness.

"Well, after a few days of shooting, I noticed that things were not right...instead of going to The Island, we were shooting on the Back Lot  and little things started to go wrong..cheap root beer..
second rate polish for Gretta's raptor claw"
"Did tell  you someone?" I asked. "Sure" said Grrr, It was always.."Right away Mr. Rex." but nothing got done.
An actor is into his craft and both Gretta and I  were pros. So we focused on our parts and let the little things go...in the film world that is a major mistake...Bob, if they started to serve decaf coffee at your school and cheese donuts, you complained but they kept doing it, what does that tell you?.
"That the School admin is either stupid or it, does not care what I like or value me".

After we  made JP l and ll  things were going well, had a cave in the Hills, the "A" list.Gretta was doing the ladies shows. Life was good.  So when the studio called and said that JP lll was in the works and would we be interested?" I said "Sure, Send the script over. Now Gretta, who is one smart Raptor, insisted on script approval, but the stinking producer, sneaked in a clause that said 'editing pending needs of the story line to be resolved by the producer".
Now the way our contract read, Gretta and I were to share top billing and be paid by the scene. We were  to be The Stars,with I would add, a good cast of humans and dinos and very good crew".

"Al and Alice Allosaurus are coming from Africa..The Rodans and Godzillas from Asia..
The Gorgos from Europe,..Gretta is pulling out all the stops on this, Bob" Grrr said.
"Well, there is more ole reptile...she asked Stef for a list of ALL the Wolf Children you guys knew plus the people from the movie.'

"Not the producer..not in my cave!" Grrr roared
"The Wolf Children are ok, well, except for the one who glued my feet to the desk, but that producer can swim in the volcano wearing a bathing suit made of C-4 before that ..that.." Grrr's eyes started to turn red and his head started swinging side to side...

Reaching into the ice chest, Bob grabbed an icy cold root beer and tossed it to him..After popping the can with his claw and tossing the drink down, he said  "Thanks pal.   Bob, most folks in Hollywood are decent for humans..no offense."  "None taken," Bob said.  "But producers are..." Grrr's tail started to twitch "What is the story Grrr?  You never told me why you never made any more movies."

Adjusting himself to human size, Grrr pulled up a chair and pointed his tail at the coffee and donuts..."Have a seat Bob and a coffee and donut.. this is not a nice story..."

Gretta, Stef and  Li-Hau were sitting at tea talking about Flower's wedding.
"Did you hear that roar?" Li-Hau said with a start.
"That is just Grrr talking to that nice Andre la Stegosaurus from Chez Pteranodon.
you know the boys" Gretta continued. "Grrr thinks pouring his root beer into a glass is the height of elegance".
"Same with Bob, he would order a hamburger and coffee in Paris".Stef said.
"Xion is the same "said Li-Hau " All he ever orders is beef fried rice and tea".
The ladies all gave each other .. The wife Look..

Andre la Stegosaurus, Chief de la Maison Chez Pteranodon, came to see Grrr.
"Monsieur, La Rex?"
"Speak English or Dino" said Grrr.  "I don't speak French."
"Bon. You have my pity Monsieur..is it that your lady the grand dame Gretta has de wedding to arrange?"
"Yes," said Grrr, "Her sister Flower is getting married but...?"
"Have not zee worry. Madam Gretta has said we have zee Carte Blanche.
I have come to assure you..that except for the Château Palmer 1961 of which I have zee regret there are only trois bouteilles in all Dinoland still given time, more can be flown in de la France à purs 5500 dollars par bouteille..


"WHAT?" roared an outraged Grrrr

"Hey Bob", Grrr said "This may be getting a bit out of claw".
 What may be getting a "bit out of claw?" I asked
"This whole wedding thing with Dr. H and Flower", he replied.  "I  ..ah.. just happened to look at Gretta's Ipad.
She has the Rodans, Roar Roar Meow,  the whole Godzilla clan and Xiongguanlong Baimoensis and Li-Hau, coming in."
"Gets worse old friend" I said.  She asked Stef to take care of inviting the humans. You know how those Hollywood types eat.  Gretta told Stef that she is thinking Chez Pteranodon for the catering.
"Chez Pteranodon???"..roared Grrr. "They charge $40 bucks for just a burger and coffee"!!!!!
"Buddy", Grrr said with a stricken roar, "They gotta elope"

For those who may not know:
Grrr is a T-Rex and was in 7 grade for many years..(our class dino)
Gretta is his wife. She is a Raptor(don't be fooled by the movie Gretta is bigger in real life). They met at a showing of Jurassic Park. Grrr Jr is their son and Little Gretta his sister.
from time to time other dino friends visit.
Roar-roar meow is a saber tooth tiger and friend of Grrr. 
Being a good and proper mom, like Gretta, she is very protective of her kittens

I can see Rexy again

 GrrrJr. walked off to his room with his head down and his tail dragging. Suddenly,  his head snapped up. He said to himself.."Dad", said "Next time" and Rexy's dad said "In future".

That means I can see Rexy again"!!!. He almost roared with joy and relief. But stopped thinking this might not be the best time to do anything that would bug his parents. :)
