Dinosaur eggs

Norah has been taking a class each week at the botanical gardens.  She loves it and I think the teacher is amazing.  Each week they bring their bags full of things they found in nature and they get to get up and share with the class what they brought. 

Norah was so excited for this past week to bring her dinosaur eggs.  A few weeks ago we were at fun forest with Elsie. Another girl had one of these seed/nut things and convinced Norah it was a dinosaur egg and any minute a dinosaur would hatch.  Elsie didn't believe them at all but each time we go Norah collects them and tries to watch one hatch.

Norah got up in class, pulled out her dinosaur eggs and proudly told the teacher they were indeed dinosaur eggs.  All the kids were amazed and Norah just beamed.  The teacher was amazing and made sure that each kid got to touch a dinosaur egg and then just commented that they look just like
a seed off a tree but couldn't remember and praised Norah for her dinosaur eggs.

Well young college girl who worked at the gardens happened to be observing the class that day.  She said she knew exactly what those were and walked over and picked a seed off this evergreen type tree.  She then walked over to Norah and made sure Norah knew it was the EXACT same thing as her dinosaur egg. Thankfully Norah didn't say a word. But if looks could kill that poor girl would be gone!
