CJ waddled, tilting a little to the side, fatter on his right than his left. There was a big string of poo hanging from his butt.

Are there really still buried dinosaur fossils? Do you think there's one in the backyard? What about a tooth?

CJ snapped upward, eating his own poo string.

Mitch decided he would ask Ms. Grayson take them to the Smithsonian. The last field trip they had, Jim Sorrenson ended up pulling his shoe off and throwing it in the lake.
