The Lizard

There was a little brown lizard in my bathroom the other day which was discovered by Alli and Nicholas. Nicholas kept trying to touch it but it ran it away too quickly. Alli stopped it with her paw and from then on it wasn't moving quite as quickly. Nicholas decided to touch it once it couldn't go far. After several touches, he picked it up, then dropped it. I figured it was a good idea to let it outside since Nicholas was brave enough to pick it up. I went towards the front door while Nicholas picked it up and then I heard a piercing scream and crying. I ran back to the bathroom and Nicholas was crying hysterically saying, "Lizard bite me mommy, lizard bite me!" At that moment Jason called and was ever so helpful, saying that some lizards are poisonous. So I washed the screaming Nicholas' hands and held him until he finally stopped crying. Then I called Poppy to make sure it wasn't poisonous. He laughed, said it wasn't, and then Nicholas had to tell him and Nana about what happened. He made both of them smooch his bite and listen to him cry a little for that extra bit of sympathy.
