One yellow Dinosaur
Back from lunch, standing in the parking garage, waiting for the elevator, I decided to take inventory of the items in my coat pockets: one candy wrapper, one piece of key lime pie candy from Baba Yega's, Philly's leftover change from DVD purchase Friday night, and one small yellow plastic dinosaur.
As I wrap my hand around the tiny plastic creature (a gift from Philly), I pull him out of my pocket to examine him. Standing there, with palm open
and my little friend exposed, I say out loud, "...and one tiny yellow reptillian creature" just as the elevator door opens and five very puzzled people stare back at me.
