i had a dinosaur.it came from the science museum in fort worth in summer 2001. it was the time my mother was visiting me in the united states. the first visit.
we drove to fort worth, went to the fort worth modern (it was pre-tadao ando) and science museum, and ate at an italian restaurant.
it was such a summer day. we were heavily rained on on the way back to dallas.
my mother and i fell in love with this dino at the museum store, and she insisted to buy it for me; "takako, it will keep you a company!" ...well, i was (let's say "already") 24 at that time. parents never accept that kids also get older.
although this dino was with me for a long time, i thought it needs the right company for himself. a dino (which, i think, is basically a dragon) needs a princess to protect, not another dragon (i'm a year of dragon). we both should grow out of each other.
i sent this to my friend's daughter, mira, in new york. she is the perfect princess with the crown (she was wearing a felt-made princess crown all the time, when she was in town last winter), i thought.
hope they get along.
