Meanwhile, Littlefoot had a question on his mind. He decided to go and ask his grandparents. The elderly couple were relaxing at their nest when Littlefoot came up to them.
"Grandma, Grandpa? Can I talk to you?" Littlefoot asked.
"Of course, Littlefoot; if you have any questions, any at all, feel free to ask and we'll answer them as best as we can," Grandpa answered.
"Well; where do babies come from?" Littlefoot asked.
The question caught them off guard; but, they were willing to try and answer the question.
"You take a male and female dinosaur; they love each other; and they express that love; the male mounts-"
"DAD! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" Jenna shouted.
Grandpa let out a low growl once Jenna got to him and lowered her head to his.
"Answering a question," Grandpa stated, as if answering with a duh tone of voice.
"Well! You always taught me to be polite and not talk back to others," Jenna said.
"And I also taught you that shouting isn't polite," Grandpa retorted.
Grandma shook her head. She was annoyed by the argument going on between her mate and daughter.
"Would you two stop arguing like kids for just a minute?" Grandma asked.
"She started it; I was only trying to tell Littlefoot where babies come from," Grandpa protested.
"You WHAT! DAD! He's way too young to know that; I told you this morning that we answer the harder questions when he is old enough to understand," Jenna snarled.
"Don't underestimate the mind of a child; he's pretty sharp; much sharper than you were at his age," Grandpa muttered the last part.
Littlefoot felt like he had to get away.
"Gotta go; see you later," Littlefoot said.
The three grown longnecks watched as Littlefoot ran away from the nest.
"I hope you two are happy; Jenna, you're making too big a deal out of this; all Littlefoot wanted to know is where babies come from; I learned where babies come from when I was his age and I turned out fine; and I believe you were also his age when I told you," Grandma snarled.
"It doesn't matter, Mother; I'll decided when my children are old enough to know answers to certain questions; I bid you good day," Jenna said and then walked off.
Grandpa snorted indignantly at Jenna while she was still in earshot. She turned around and growled.
"I heard that! Now, if Littlefoot asks a certain question; you tell him that he's too young to understand," Jenna said.
"Make me," Grandpa retorted.
"With pleasure," Jenna sneered.
Just as the father and daughter were about to fight, Grandma stepped between them.
"Would you two stop it? I never knew that such a harmless question could lead to you two getting angry at each other; now I want both of you to settle this like grown ups; not like a couple of younglings wrestling each other over a tree sweet," Grandma snarled.
"I'm willing to be grown up about this; but, I don't know about him," Jenna sneered.
Grandpa growled.
"You may be a grown up, Jenna; but, I'm still your father and you have no right to give me attitude," Grandpa scolded.
Jenna was about to protest; but, she was stopped.
"Your father is right; and Kenneth; you and Jenna better get this straightened out; you should also apologize to Littlefoot; your argument was really scaring him; he thinks it's his fault you two are angry at each other," Grandma growled.
Once the elderly female left, the elderly male and the adult female looked at each other.
"Your mother is right; we both acted like hatchlings," Grandpa told Jenna.
"Yeah; I'm sorry, Dad; I just wanted to do what was best for my children," Jenna admitted.
"You better be sorry; I'm still angry at you for the attitude you were giving me just because I was about to tell Littlefoot where babies come from," Grandpa said.
Jenna was about to say something; but, Grandpa silenced her.
"By the way; I wouldn't blame Littlefoot for wanting to sleep away from you after what just happened here," Grandpa added.
Jenna sighed and nodded.
"Dad,-"
Grandpa shook his head.
"I'm not in the mood to talk to you right now; I'd like to be alone for a while," Grandpa said as he walked away.
Jenna knew she has done wrong; all she wanted to do now was make things right between her father and Littlefoot. It could be a while before the situation could be settled.
