    My 10 year old son loves dinosaurs and space. He reads and watches tons of stuff, and is now telling me about Dinosaur species I’m not familiar with, and facts about various moons/planets/etc. I’m pretty well read on these subjects too.

    I absolutely love it.

      I grew up thinking we knew everything there is to know about dinosaurs. Then I had a kid, who started to learn all about them. So far he’s told me about how scientists think many of them had features, how Brontosauruses didn’t exist, how there are multiple T-Rex species, and more. The pace of scientific development is crazy, and he keeps up with a lot of it for also being ten. I love to hear about it.

      Not exactly related to what you said, but what you said made me think about it. Dinos are cool.

        Definitely recommend this book:
        The Rise and Fall of the Dinosaurs: A New History of Their Lost World
        by Steve Brusatte
