Kelly Ripa told Live with Kelly and Mark about the perfect anniversary card she once gave Mark Consuelos — well, at least the details she could share on the air.
The topic came up on Wednesday morning after Ripa teased that she is “the human embodiment of a T-rex.”
“I have short arms for my body size,” she added. “I do. It’s a fact. It’s a medical fact.”
While pinching her fingers and accentuating her teeny arms, Ripa read that “new studies claim to have solved the withstanding mystery of why Tyrannosaurus rex had such disproportionately small arms.”
“It’s because — their bodies were 40 feet long, with their arms stretching only three feet,” she continued. “Their arms evolved to grow smaller, as their heads grew larger. So, take that!”
Ripa explained that the dinosaur species “attack with their heads,” noting that “they didn’t need their little arms.”
“So they approached everything head first, and that’s how they made contact with their prey,” she said. “That was the easiest way to bring them down.”
“It’s exactly what you did with me,” Consuelos quipped, as he imitated Ripa.
Ripa was then reminded of an anniversary card she gave to Consuelos. While she initially debated whether to share details about the card “on the air,” she decided that she would do so “in a way that is appropriate for television.”
“For our anniversary, I found an anniversary card where two T-rexes are engaged in loving one another very much,” she shared. “And the female T-rex says, ‘Pull my hair.’ And the male T-rex says, ‘I’m trying.’ Best card.”

The co-host couple high-fived as the audience applauded.
Ripa asked, “Best card you ever got?”
Consuelos confirmed, “Yes.”
After Ripa shared that she purchased the card from a store in Palm Springs, she insisted that “it’s an adorable card.”
“You have to see it, but only certain people can see it,” she said. “You have to be 21 and older to see it.”
