The Dinosaurs
Paki and Lewis (4yrs) have been busy in the sandpit. They have used palm fronds and large rocks to create a landscape.
Paki: 'I know, let's go get the dinosaurs. This can be their home!
Lewis: 'Yeah!'
The boys race off and bring back a box containing various dinosaurs.
Paki: 'I'm having the Tyrannosaurus Rex.'
Lewis: 'No, it's my turn. You always get to have it. It's not fair.'
Paki: 'It was my idea so I get to choose first. You can have the Brontosaurus.'
Lewis: 'No, I'll have the Brachiosaurus.'
Paki: 'No, I'm having that one too.'
The argument becomes heated with both boys yelling at each other.
