We stayed in the patch for a while, every pumpkin offered to me I would turn down. That T-Rex looked Godzilla sized, I swear. I now know that that couldn't be true, I was just overreacting, but oh man. My three year old self felt like a speck of dust next to that monstrosity. I remember it clearly. I don't think I was afraid of it eating me. It was just the sheer size of it. I knew I couldn't get within 20 feet of it without having a nervous breakdown. That was, until I saw...
The petting zoo.
I could not pass up that petting zoo. Like I said, I was obsessed with animals. I couldn't get enough of them. Them and dinosaurs, but at this time I genuinely feared for my life because of dinosaurs. I would have to suck it up. Man up for the animals, I told myself. I could imagine the calming effect of the cute creatures in their little pens. Even though their little pens were right next to the T-Rex foot. I picked out a random pumpkin, showed it to my mom and asked her if I could see the petting zoo. She took me there, and I squeezed my eyes shut until I reached the gate. I open my eyes and to my horror I realized that there wasn't just a T-Rex robot. There were more.
