Mom's Paper Cricket
My brother Josh has a bearded dragon. I guess it's like a lizard to most ppl. His name is Charlie and he is still considered a baby I guess. He doesn't really do anything, he's not usually that entertaining lol, but my brother loves him. My mom really helps out a lot to take care of him and the other night she was helping my brother change Charlie's bedding(sand). My sister Michaela babysat the lizard while mom and Josh cleaned out the cage. It was funny cuz my sister was trying to keep track of Charlie lol. But he was being a little squirmy so we were trying think of ways to keep him occupied lol. Michaela decided that he might like to skateboard lol, but he wasn't really into it. He just wanted to be on her arm lol, it was funny watchin Charlie run up my sister's arm, she is such a tom boy lol! So after my mom was done helping my brother they had to feed Charlie(this is the worst part of having a lizard as a pet). He eats crickets...yuck. I have issues with creepy crawlers. And when someone opens the container of crickets they all jump everywhere!! I hate watching cuz when I see one jump out all I can think about is it crawlin in my bed or something...ugh. So I am always yelling and makin sure that each cricket is caught and put back in the container. So my mom opened the box and of course one jumped out and I was tellin her that she better catch it. It went behind the dresser my mom reached down behind it and grabbed she had her hand clasped and she was yelling "I got it! I got it! Relax!" She threw the cricket in the container but when we looked in we saw a little folded piece of paper where the escaped cricket should have been. I flipped and we all looked for the jumping insect, we finally found and caught it. Whew! Thank God! I wouldn't had been able to sleep all night lol. Stupid crickets.

Why do guys like those creepy little animals? I guess they aren't creepy to them, a guy thing, just like it's a girl thing to squeal when we see one. It does look fascinating, tho. Robby has a snapping turtle that he rescued when it was about a quarter size. Now the darn thing is about the size of a saucer. Oh, well, it wouldn't do for guys to play with dolls, now, would it?
Hey if your brother wants two leopard geckos, he can have them, the cages, and everything else we have for free. My brother doesnt want them anymore, but we want them to go to a good home. So your brother can have them if he wants them.
