On sunny afternoons, the preschool class behind my home comes outside to play. Recently, arriving home on lunch break, I found one of their games underway.
“On the count of three,” I heard the teacher call to her students, who squatted in the grass. “One, two, three!”
“I have confidence! I have confidence! I have confidence!” the children shrieked in shaky unison.
“That’s right!” the teacher told them. “You believe in yourself and you can be any dinosaur you want to be! Now, on the count of three, what kind of dinosaur do you want to be? One, two, THREE!”
A roar of indistinguishable species names filled the air.
