AIBU to excitedly break 4 years of lurking because DH saw an inflatable dinosaur in use tonight?

He'd been telling me about seeing the same reindeer in lights set of decorations in multiple houses on his way home.

So I said "At least they weren't inflatable dinosaurs" and started to tell him the story only for his face to light up telling me oh yes he had seen that too and taken a while to work out what was Christmassy about it.

@DinoDays perhaps you should swap said teen to a brick phone for a bit until they remember how phone cameras work? (Dinosaurs are Serious Business & that weird “giving it meteor strike” effect they produced = vvv culturally insensitive to the poor things).

I would rather swap said teen for a brick phone!

In fact I'd swap them for a brick! Well, until they hit their 20's and swap back! ;)

@Lilyhatesjaz funny! tough decision! But as it's now gone Christmas I guess you can give him the chance to rethink next year?

@BellaTheDarkOverlord and@FatMumSlimDad did the Homer(s) eventually show up?

@DinoDays sorry but I had a good chuckle at the photo. Sorry because I get it will have been frustrating at the time.

@Alohapotato & @AnUnsuitableMatch and everyone else who saw the dino, you are one up on me because

the update from here is that I said to DH on Christmas Eve that I wanted to go decoration spotting after lunch on the next day only to be told the dino was already gone! Along with some of the reindeeer.

We'd had some very wild weather so we hope they were just taken inside rather than blown away.

@Lurker2019 Yes Homer showed up but only between about 6 and 7pm then it was turned off for the night! 😂

Lurker2019 · 04/01/2024 16:32

I take it you mean each night? Not just 1 hour once? That would hardly be worth inflating him for.

I saw one on the front of a moored boat on The Thames!

Lurker2019 · 04/01/2024 16:37

Oh wow!! That would be quite something

How do you just partial quote here? I wanted to add to my comment to DinoDays to say YAY at you seeing one at last. Forgot you hadn't before that as I was too taken up with the photo 🙂 and because I took a while to come back to thread, sorry.
