Tyrannosaurus rex?

When my son, Maverick, was 3, he was interested in dinosaurs and animals, like all little boys. When I told him we could make a tyrannosaurus rex out of papier-mâché he was elated.

We were working at my drafting table when I left long enough to get more water. Within a few minutes, he was quickly covered in corn starch from head to toe (as was the lamp just above his head and the tip of his nose). When I returned to the room, I saw him absorbed in his work and contemplating his next move.
