I don't think I can handle having a son - It's getting grosser and grosser!

I guess better dead than alive because they bite like he** but dead is still pretty bad I had nowhere to run and he kept thrusting it at me saying "It's ok, it's dead! (thrust) Touch it, it's dead! (thrust) Why can't I keep it, it's dead? (thrust)"

huggybugboy replied: Ok, call me dumb, but what is a skink??

yeah i know, i have no right teaching 6th grade...

My3LilMonkeys replied: I think my 2 girls are starting to look better and better - I don't mind live animals of just about any variety, but dead ones?

Brias3 replied: OMG, GROSS! I'm sorry, Monica- I am laughing though

What we don't go through with little boys, huh?

luvmykids replied:
They're giant lizards but they have super short legs so they slither more like a snake (which I CAN'T HANDLE) and they bite, with teeth. This one was about a foot long and about as thick as a toilet paper tube

I don't like them much alive but at least then they run FROM you instead of CORNERING you by complete suprise in your KITCHEN **SHUDDER**

I asked him where he got it and he said the little boy next door gave it to him over the fence I don't think Colt will be allowed to talk at the fence anymore

AND when I was sweeping the floor after dinner there was something stuck on the floor, I thought it was spinach, and as I was about to pick it up realized it was a dead itty bitty baby lizard I told Colt we are NOT a reptilian sanctuary and he shook his head and said "Well I don't even know what you're talking about but I only collect the dead ones." Please, Lord, let that be imaginary

C&K*s Mommie replied: *shudder* *shudder again* I am having mental imagery of that pic above, and *shudder* I cannot get it out of my mind.

WHEW! So glad we have girls, who with lots of luck will appreciate (dead or living) creatures but keep them outside of the house.

your kids....

AlexsPajamaMama replied: What a kid!! That's pretty funny!!
Poor Mommy, thats icky!!

Momof3inMe replied: I am glad my boys stick to frogs!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: So glad we only have geckos around here. And yes, Ethan combs the driveway for them everytime he goes outside.

BAC'sMom replied: you need to toughen up girl….. it’s just a lizard

When my brother was about 9 or 10 he cut his finger completely off then he picked it up and walked in and handed it to my Mom. She FREAKED out!

Bamamom replied: Ok so now I'm debated on making my boy a sissy by standing over his crib and saying "Snakes, frogs, and lizard are BAD. BAD!"

gr33n3y3z replied: lol its too funny

punkeemunkee'smom replied: My mom has been through it all too!

Tay is the only little girl around here so when we go to the arena or 'family' dinners she hangs with the boys. They taught her to catch grasshopers and geckos this summer The only difference is she comes inside and says 'Gross, I need to wash my hands!'



Maybe get him an aquarium. Tell him he can have one smallish live one but that means he has to leave the dead ones alone

Your story brings to mind the time my brother chased my Mom into the bathroom brandishing a dead eel. My father had brought it home to eat. It still had it's head.

He may have to give up that dead lizzard collection before he marries my daughter Mon. Not really sure Jade will appreciate being cornered in her kitchen by a dead skink. *shudders*

holley79 replied: I did the same things to my mom. I would die if Annika brought me that. I'm sure we will be posting on of these days something she brought me.

redchief replied: Reminds me of the adage, "Sticks and snails and puppy-dog tails; that's what little boys are made of."

Colt is all boy, no doubt!

PrairieMom replied:
I'm totally laughing WITH you!

luvmykids replied:
I guess he's kind of right, being a reptilian sanctuary would imply they were ALIVE

And CA, I'm working on ditching the cornering women in the kitchen with dead skinks!

PrairieMom replied: Larry King had Jack Hanna on tonight and he brought a Skink. I believe it is the first one I have ever seen. If my child thrust one of those at me, even a dead one I think I would have a stroke.

luvmykids replied:
I think I may have had a mini-stroke, my heart rate still isn't normal and I can't stand at the stove without flashbacks

MoonMama replied:

my2monkeyboys replied: LMAO! ROFL!
Gotta love them boys! They're something else aren't they!

Cece00 replied: OMG that is DISGUSTING. I think I wouldve freaked out if my kid had brought that into the house.
