it started with nj saying, "ma. ma. mama! dotty..." as i get down from my bar stool i see something wiggling and flailing around and i scream. once again, dot has caught a lizard. this one was quite small (maybe the size of my thumb?) and pale and worm looking, yuck! and off to the side is something else wiggling around... the tail that fell off. eeew!! in my panicked scream, nj starts crying. then i felt really bad and tried to calm him down. it was my fault for scaring him, but seeing that lizard really freaked me out. i stepped down from the chair and there it was right at my feet! baba calmly got up, picked up the lizard with a napkin (the tail too) and let the little guy out somewhere in the backyard. he sighed at the crazed commotion i had caused. i tried to tell nj not to cry, sorry for scaring him, and next time please tell us that dotty has a lizard. not sure if that'll actually make my reaction much different, but hopefully I'll have some warning and possibly stay in my chair.
today when nj was riding his trike around in circles, he stopped at dotty and said, "beep, beep! dotty, beep beep!" i turned around and dotty just sat there while nj was pointing the big front wheel right at her. she could care less. i laughed and said, "dotty doesn't understand what beep, beep means! just go around her."
