Vocabulary Mixup

Today, Victor's homework assignment was to imagine what a dinosaur would do at school. He was then to draw a picture and write a sentence about it.

He drew a rather convincing stegosaurus, a coconut tree, and some leaves. Then he drew some tiny mouse holes and a T-rex that was traveling underground.

He took time to explain to me that the stegosaurus has a spiky tail "to protect it from its creditors."
