Retta was playing in her on going archaeology dig and came running in the house with a excited look on her face and her eyes big and sparkling. *Mama, come quick. You will never believe it. I just found camouflaged grasshopper fossils. Archaeologists call them Hoppers. Hurry.* I quickly put on my shoes and ran out to the site to share in the delight of her discovery. She kept pointing to the puddle saying, *See Mama* I bent down as close as I could and didn't see anything. I told her I didn't see anything and she said, * Look closer mama.* I tried again, and told her I was sorry but I just couldn't see them. She stood up and said, *Mama, you can't see them because they are camouflauged !!* So once again the wisdom of the child prevails.
She went on to show me the leg of a dinosaur. She explained it was the * upper part of the leg that hooks into the hip.*
