I do not own PJO or HOO.
Dinosaurs
Percy and I had been walking around American Museum of Natural History for the majority of the day. Founded in 1869, the present museum is comprised of 46 permanent exhibition halls, a renowned library and a research facility that is housed in a complex of 25 interconnected buildings. It is considered to be one of the finest museums in the world. And Percy had been gracious enough to not only take me, but to listen to me ramble the whole time as well. Well for most of the time at least…
"Annabeth can we go yet!? We have been here for three hours!"
I sighed, but I should be grateful he lasted this long. "Just a little longer Percy. We haven't even seen one of the most popular sections."
"And what would that be…"
"The Hall of Ornithischian Dinosaurs." I rolled my eyes. Wasn't it obvious?
"I'm guessing that means Hall of the Dinosaurs." I resisted the urge to face-palm.
I let out a huff of air, "Yes Percy, that's exactly what it is. Now come on." I ordered, grabbing him by the wrist and pulling him to the direction of the exhibit.
I couldn't help but gasp as we entered the hall. One of the world's largest collections of dinosaurs was right in front of me.
"Wow. Now I see why it's one of their greatest attractions…" I could only nod in response as I pulled Percy over to the exhibit of the Stegosaurus.
"Oh my gods just look at this!" I gasped, "Did you know that at one time, some scientists thought Stegosaurus had a second brain since the one in its head seemed so small. The Stegosaurus did, however, manage with the one small brain. Oh! Did you know—"
"Hey Annabeth," Percy called. I at looked at him slightly annoyed, he knew better than to cut me off when I was listing facts.
"Yes." I asked with a hint of annoyance.
"What do you call a dinosaur that gets into a car accident?" He asked with a lopsided grin on his face.
Did he really cut me off for this!? I narrowed my eyes at him.
When I didn't respond he continued, "A Tyrannosaurus Wreck!" He exclaimed and broke out into a fit of laughter.
I groaned and didn't attempt to stop face-palming this time. I walked up to him and grabbed his wrist and pulled him towards the exit.
"H-hey w-where are we g-going?" He asked fighting his laughter.
"To the gift shop. We need to get you a better joke book."
"Oh what about this one! Why do museums have old dinosaur bones?... Because they can't afford new ones!"
"Definitely a new joke book."
Lexie: Okay guys I think I was having hysteria or something today because I just found that joke SO funny when I knew it wasn't! I found it yesterday and I told it all of my friends today and I would just crack up every time! I definitely need to get more sleep. I mean I am laughing NOW at it. A tyrannosaurus wreck!I think I might need help or something or maybe a nap… Please tell someone else finds that joke funny!

So anyone ever been to the American Museum of Natural History? I think I have been, I would ask, but it's cold and my bed is really warm now and I just don't feel like getting up.
