What’s your favorite dinosaur?

Pterodactyls are pretty awesome. If I was alive back then I probably would have been one of the dumb asses trying to ride them.

My favorite is the Compsognathus, the little ones from like the second or third Jurassic park movie. Right up until they attacked the little girl I thought they were adorable and reminded me of the chickens on my grandma’s farm.

Anyways…I do have something I would like your input on. After a ten year custody battle I managed to get custody of my son (the down-side of having a penis in the southern US is that even with her extensive arrest record and documented drug use it’s still next to impossible for the father to get custody) and he has similar self image and fear of failure issues. I try to talk to him, and get him to talk to me about it, and I’ve suggested therapy for him and he seems to be hating that idea less here recently. My problem is that I was always a rather awkward kid and never very talkative. Even as an adult I still struggle with trying to find a way to have serious conversations (case in point: this entire exchange). Do you have any advice you could give me about how to start a conversation with him?
