Every year, my wife and I devote the month of November to convincing our children that, while they sleep, their plastic dinosaur figures come to life.

It began modestly enough. The kids woke up to discover that the dinosaurs had gotten into a box of cereal and made a mess on the kitchen table.

The next morning, the dinos had climbed onto the kitchen counter to raid the fruit bowl. The morning after that, they had managed to breach the refrigerator and help themselves to a carton of eggs.

“Uh-oh,” we heard our girls whisper. “Mom and Dad are not going to like this”.

Via Medium with a for those wanting to coordinate their own efforts. Also, lots more pictures of dinosaur shenanigans.
