So two days ago I was in the bus, and this elderly guy with this little kid (probably around 5 or 6 years old) gets on. They enter through the back of the bus, and the old man asks the kid to stay put while he go pay their fare. I tell the man that I can keep an eye on his kid while he pays it.

The kid is super excited (like all 5 year old kids are) talking about how he can be a water super hero, who can transform into anything. I play the kid´s game, and soon the talk goes to dinossaurs (kids looooove dinossaurs). The kid talks about the little plastic triceratops that he is holding, then about all other dinos he knows about. Then the conversation take a turn like this:

Kid – Hey mister, did you know? The dinossaurs, they all died!
Me – Really? That´s a pity.
Kid – Yeah, they died because of meteorites!
Me – You tell me!
Kid – yeah…
Me – Well, let me tell you something.
Kid – What?
Me – Did you know? Some dinossaurs are still alive!
Kid – Really?
Me – You know the birds? They are the great great great great great grandsons of the dinossaurs!
Kid – No way!

And then the kid was super excited about birds. We still talked a bit more about that and random stuff before I had to get off the bus. It was awesome!
