Lizard and frog

Remember that lizard that I told you about? Well, I found it. Or I should say that AJ found it.

He came out to the kitchen on Thursday with a little brown lizard, upside down, stiff, pinched in his little fingers.
"Eeelwww!" I said. "He's dead. Give him to me so I can throw him out"
He holds his hand out toward me so I can take the lizard.
I reach out to grab it and it flips onto the ground and scurries under the kitchen table.
I squealed. "Eeeeee! It's alive!"
He giggled.
"Catch it!!" I commanded.
He caught it an we stuck it in a jar, along with a frog that we had caught the night before.
They took them to school for show and tell and then brought them home, where I insisted that we let them go.
After some protesting, they agreed and we took them outside to release them. The lizard made a run for it as soon as we opened the jar....the frog stuck around for a minute....
Poor reptiles. Amphibians. Whatever the heck they are.
