One of my sons-in-law got caught out listing my number in his mobile phone as "Dragon Lady". One of my grandsons goes by the nom de plume of Dragon McTavish. I have occasionally been called Grandma Dragon. That didn't seem to have the right flair for a blog name so I did some dragon research. Everybody's favourite lizard in Australia is the little dragon lizard known as a "Frilly" or Frilled neck lizard. He belongs in the genus Chlamydosaurus. As anyone who has read about Dinosaurs knows, saurus simply means lizard, but our Frilly-saurus is a dragon lizard. So I liked the sound of it and the connection to my favourite dragon - the Frilly - and adopted "saurus" in the place of "dragon" and became Grannysaurus.
A bit of convoluted reasoning, I know. But convoluted reasoning is one of my talents.

ReplyDeleteYay, Grannysaurus is blogging. So can we call you granny now??? Love Lion and Dragon McT
ReplyDeleteFor such a fearsome little lizard, the frilly has a rather unfortunate scientific name. I can see why he uses a nickname.
ReplyDeleteNow that you are here, do you think that we can convince Aunty J that blogland is better than facebook?
