Listen to Your Children

I was chatting on the phone and I heard a little voice next to me, "Mo-om, there's a lizard on my back." Repeat statement. It was a complete non-sequitur. Must be some sort of lizard sticker. A lizard toy, perhaps, that the boys wanted to use to play a trick on me. I'll be done with my phone call in a minute, boys, not to worry. Hmmm. Maybe I better glance down just in case. "EEEEEEEK!" Uh, uh, just step outside onto the back patio. Nice and easy, OK? Now stand still, while I run upstairs for my camera. Aaaaah. Perfect photo opportunity. Gently urge lizard off of son into the ivy. Being a little kid can get interesting sometimes.
