Rock Star

Miranda has been strutting around the house, making up songs. This is an excerpt from a song she made up today and was singing to her father:

"The ground started to shake
And the dinosaurs said, 'Oh, no, it’s an earthquake!'
But it was a volcano, and it exploded,
And made a lava lake."

She is also starting to think about a future as an author. She told her father about her concept for a story called "Jurassic People Period" about dinosaurs and people living together (she knows they didn't coexist -- she's an expert -- but she likes to pretend.) She added, however, "This is just a story right now -- there's no book or video yet."

Hmmm ... paleontologist? Rock star? Author? Or producer? It's hard to say. It's complicated, being five years old.
