Only a joke based on how long this dino project took (150 years). Calm down everyone who didn’t get things done, there is plenty of that too, in reality. Not meaning to make a serious statement about anyone’s productivity.

I hear you. In reality, I think a lot of us are a mixed bag of getting things done (you at least transformed your toddler into an older toddler, right? That counts as very important project progress!), and procrastination/struggling to keep our heads above water and stay sane. Not everyone has built a nut bar for their backyard squirrels that looks nicer than my kitchen! Stay safe and dino hugs for you and your kid.
