..my son got angry with me after I told him to discard an injured lizard outside the gate!!!
Last night Drew was showering and a lizard fell into the shower and was 'injured' by the hot water. He got Matt to help remove the lizard. It was not moving but gasping for air. So I told Matt to leave it somewhere outside the gate to recuperate on its own. Later Matt came to me with teary eyes and asked if he could keep the injured lizard in a jar till it recovers, before letting it go. I tried explaining to him that it's quite unheard of to keep lizard!? He got so upset with me and refused to talk to me. He claimed that the ants will attack the injured lizard if left on its own. And true enough, when we checked on the lizard later, it was lying dead on the grass patch with ants crawling all over it. This made him more upset and was sniffing away with teary eyes!
I sms hub and told him, "yr chubby angry with me over an injured lizard! Jus bcos I told him to throw it out of the gate!?"
Hub replied: "Haha..next time you step on an ant he will crush you with his bear hug!"
haha...
That's how much he loves animals, of all kinds!

Haha, kids. Well, at least that shows he has a very good heart. :)
Awww.. such a kind heart he has. The lizard probably won't have survived in the jar anyway .. I for one, did try to keep recouperating lizards/birds but I kept the bottle/box open so that they could escape if they wanted to and they usually did. We'd look for them the next day but take heart that if it could escape, it probably can survive a little longer. :)
