And the summer fun begins!

Setup: Child #2 is 15 years old. Child #4 is newly 9.

Child #2: Can I put a chameleon on your head?

Child #4: (stops sipping her drink and frowns, thinking): Okay.




                              Ouch!

It's going to be an interesting summer...

  2. No one asked the poor chameleon about location hopping, and summer has barely begun.

  3. Heh, I don't know if I would be okay with someone putting a lizard on my head. Little claws seem like a bad idea on my poor head.

    Sounds like you're going to have some fun.

  5. I'm with Barbara. Does the chameleon get any say in where he (she) perches? Have a great summer, Barrie. Enjoy them while they're with you!! They all grow up too fast.

  8. Kaye: Sadly, five have shriveled; one even more than the others. However, I did read that sometimes you think an egg won't produce and, surprise! So, I'm hoping not all the five are goners. And...the other 18 are going strong. Also, both chameleons shed this past week. So, yay! I bet that was WAY more reptile info than you were expecting!

  9. I had no idea that creature was so big!
    Younger siblings are so trusting and vulnerable, aren't they?
    Enjoy the summer! ;)

  10. How fun!
    I remember putting lizards on my head in Jr. High, but never one as big as a chameleon!

  11. So, Solvang Sherrie, it's a Southern California thing? Ha!

    And, no to Barbara and Teresa, I don't think the chameleon had much say in the matter. :)

  13. I'm pretty sure that chameleons are more fun than chickens! So pretty against dark hair as well . . .

  18. While this particular incident hasn't happened here, I can certainly identify with it!
