Lizard on the Loose

This guy was on the loose in our home. The lizard. Not Elijah. It was terrifying. Here's what happened:

- Elijah was napping.
- I was sitting at the computer about to tackle my virtual to-do list.
- Jeyson was at the hangar.
- Bobby RUNS into the house after something.
- Bobby corners something behind the sofa in the living room.
- I RUN to the living room.
- I think Sam is cornered behind the sofa.
- NO BOBBY!!! Leave Sam alone! Go outside!
- I see a skinny tail from behind the sofa.
- It's not Sam's tail.
- I think a mouse or a rat is cornered behind the sofa.
- GET HIM BOBBY!!!
- Then I see it.
- A lizard.
- The lizzard is VERY large.
- Lizards are our friends, according to Jeyson.
- Lizards eat bugs and cause no harm, according to Jeyson.
- We have to protect lizards from Bobby and Sam, according to Jeyson.
- I agree.
- But I'm scared of lizards all the same.
- NO BOBBY!!!! Leave the lizard alone! Go outside!
- I get a broom.
- My plan is to shoo the lizard outside with a broom.
- My plan failed.
- The lizard ran out from the sofa into the office!
- The office is where I needed to work.
- The lizard hid under the couch in the office.
- The couch is too big for me to see him or move to shoo him.
- I have no choice but to wait for him to come out.
- I can't get anything done except on the computer.
- I work on my emails, etc. with my feet in the air.
- I work like this for 30 minutes waiting for him to appear so I can shoo him with the broom.
- He does not come out.
- My legs are running out of blood as I hold them in the air.
- I refuse to touch the ground.
- It is time to pick Jeyson up from the hangar.
- There is still a lizard in the house.
- He won't come out.
- I have to go.
- I lock the lizard in the house and Eli and I get Jeyson.
- I tell Jeyson the traumatizing story.
- Jeyson is thrilled!
- He loves lizards!
- Jeyson runs into the office and shuts the door behind him.
- Elijah and I huddle together outside the office.
- Jeyson emerges.
- Live lizard in hand.
- As a payment for rescuing me, Jeyson makes me pet the lizard.
- I quickly touch the lizard.
- No it has to be a real pet. See how cute he is?
- Groan.
- Real pet.
- WASH HANDS!
- Picture.
- Release the lizard.
