Grady: "Boys! Hey boys! Come here quick!"
Grady Lee: (Ffllyyiinngg off the couch) "What Daddy? What do you need?"
I hear muffled shuffling and excited voices but I can't make out what's happening on the other side of the house.
Grady Lee: (Shrieking) "A lizard, Mom, a lizard! I caught a lizard in Daddy's office!"
As I grab my camera and head to the office, Grady meets me half way grinning.
Grady: "I didn't want to touch that thing but I knew the boys would catch it for me."
Me: "Seriously? Seriously? You, the man of the home. The protector of our family. You ask a four year old to catch a teeny tiny lizard?!"
As Grady Lee lets the lizard go on the front porch we hear Micah yell from the office inside.
Micah: "The lizards tail fell off! I'll get a bowl!"
Micah sprints to the Tupperware cabinet in the kitchen and returns to the office to scoop up the still-wiggling tail. And yes, he is sitting on a baby doll. And yes, that is a toy bottle he is holding. Prior to the lizard scenario, he was feeding the baby on the couch.
Wow... a husband afraid of lizards; a four year old who couldn't get on his hands and knees quick enough to catch the poor thing (that is now without a tail); and a two year old that wants to fake feed a fake baby and scoop up dismembered body parts.
