"HEY, ALL YOU KIDS, YOU SHOULD CLIMB ON MY BACK, AND I WILL SWISH MY TAIL ABOUT, AND IT WILL BE GREAT FUN FOR THE PEOPLE ON MY TAIL."

I got really excited when I saw you were next on my reading list - and then you made me laugh a lot - and now I'm really happy.

And honestly? I love the set up, I love the gimmick, your writing for this is hitting just the right mark to be the kindest of satire. And you still covered the topic thematically. Like, seriously, well done. I R IMPRESS.

I DO NOT KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN BY GIMMICK BUT I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOUR FEEDBACK. I AM GLAD THAT YOU LIKE MY WRITING.

I love your entries.

THANK YOU. I LOVE THAT YOU READ THEM.

That was funny. Except the part where you got kicked in the ear region. That made me sort of sad. What a mean little chicken-legged kid.

I know you can be fairly sensitive to human emotions as T-Rexes go, but if you don't eat the bratty children, who will? Thin the species.

I DO NOT LIKE TO PREY ON THE YOUNG. EVEN THE BRATS COULD GROW OUT OF IT. I'M MORE INCLINED TO SNACK ON THE OCCASIONAL POLITICIAN.

I agree with fodschwazzle. Couldn't you have eaten the bratty child just a little? Maybe just a little nibble?

SOMETIMES IF THEY ARE REALLY BAD I MIGHT TAKE AN ARM OR A LEG, BUT USUALLY THEY ARE JUST JERKS BECAUSE KIDS DON'T KNOW HOW TO NOT BE JERKS YET.
