beards on dragons?

listening to: the avett brothers :: i and love and you ::

so i'm house/petsitting my friend's bearded dragon, little nemos, swimming turtles, more fish, crabs or something and other animals in cages. 

she just had a birthday party before she left so i am in the kitchen mopping the confetti off the wood floors while jackson is in the kid's room trying to find a toy to sleep with.  i hear his little voice ask me, "can i sweep wiff this kitty box mom?"  i told him sure.  i get into the room and notice the cage is white.  i asked him if he poured the white lizard stuff in the cage.  his cheeks turned bright pink.  he said the bearded dragon was hungry. 

so i go to tuck him in... the box started to shake.  he put bearded dragon inside the box!!! ahhhhh! that cricket-eating, scaly, scary, smelly (probably), nasty lizard was hanging inside hello kitty and could have slept next to jackson all night if i didn't catch my sneaky son.

i dropped the nameless dragon back in safely. gave him an extra cricket for all of his trouble.

never a dull day.
