This is topic We Can't Stop Hiding the Lizard! (now with popular demand for a snake story, ADAM) in forum Books, Films, Food and Culture at Hatrack River Forum.
Hi Emma! I just want to let you know that the rubbery lizard that you gave to my son (the Son of Shvester) for the December Gift Exchange is really getting around the house. We keep hiding it for someone to discover (and bonus points if they get startled by the discovery). Once you find the lizard, then YOU get to hide it for someone else to happen upon unawares. The lizard has been in the vegetable bin in the refrigerator, on my pillow, in a supply closet, and amongst the newspapers. And that is just yesterday and today! Sometimes he is on the phone base instead of the cordless phone. Sometimes he is on the computer mouse (the mouse and the lizard seem to be great friends). I've found him in the cheese bin in the 'fridge, too. I'm not sure where the lizard is now, but he always turns up. And if I find him next, then it is my turn to hide it.
Thanks for all the lizardy fun!

lol.
That would have been funny in my house when my sister and I were young. My sister couldn't say "L" when she was young, so she would call lizards "wizards"
I remember the time she ran out of her room yelling "there's a wizard in my room, there's a wizard in my room!"

That reminds me of when my brother used to scare me by hiding my dad's stuffed (real) armadillo and asking me to get something down for him.
But I'm sure the Princess would be very thrilled that you like the lizard she really did choose all by herself. If she knew how to read. Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
You can let her know, no?
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
Oh, I told her, but her attention span is a little short. She was busy trying to put pants on her head. (Note to self: do not renew Blue Hat, Green Hat when determining what library books we need to keep longer. :| )
I'll try again later. Posted by whiskysunrise (Member # 6819) on :
That sounds like so much fun.
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
Meh, pants on the head is highly overrated.
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
The point is not to hide it so that it is hard to find. The idea is to hide it so that someone will come upon it unexpectedly and be surprised. So when hiding it, you target someone.
Do I suppose that my brother-in-law is going to make himself some oatmeal for breakfast? Then I'll hide the lizard with the cereal bowls for him.
Is it my son's chore to sweep the dining room floor? He may find a lizard on the dustpan.
He found it last, and hid it. I have yet to find it. But I will, I'm sure!

Pleeeeeeeease tell me the snake story.

Snake story good. Refusing to tell snake story bad. Conclusion? Tell snake story. Posted by breyerchic04 (Member # 6423) on :
My cat has a rubber frog and snake, probably as lifelike as your lizard. And they tend to turn up in quite scary places, but we aren't the ones hiding them.
Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
I have a lifelike lizard. Anyone want me to mail it to them? I can, I don't mind. Posted by theCrowsWife (Member # 8302) on :
You can mail me one of the big ones. You just gotta catch it, first.

I thought you didn't like to be in the same room with it? Have you come to an understanding then? Posted by quidscribis (Member # 5124) on :
Oh, no, I wouldn't catch it. But maybe Oberon will. In the last week, he's caught a rat and a squirrel. He might be up to the task. Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
SNAKE STORY!!!
Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :
1) I, too wish to hear this snake story.
2) quid, there's a big difference between "life-like" and "live" (or "live before it was shipped overseas", anyway.) :|
Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :
Yeah. George Bush is "live". Dick Cheney is "life-like".
