Lentils and the Lizard

After cooking some lentils for dinner, I removed them from the pot and drained them in the colander. I placed the pot back on the stove to cool down. After dinner, I forgot to turn off the gas clasp on the tank. When I did, I saw a little lizard. It was unmovable by the tank. As if I didn't see it.

So here’s the deal Lizard, I was talking to the lizard, see. If you agree to eat the bugs that manage to get in to the house, I will let you live. Then I walked away. Not a minute later I hear a clang as it jumped to the mini oven. Then trying to see where it went, it sneaked up to my empty pot! The dang little dude was clasped around the edge. I talked to it again. Yea, you gotta go.

So as I reached toward it, it jumped to my kettle. I took the kettle outside and gave it a little shake. It jumped and that was that. 

The next day however, I found it again! This time it jumped on me after I got out of the shower. At that point -after I wrapped up in a towel. I managed to shoo it out of my bedroom. And thankfully I haven’t seen that one since.
