in the past, when mum - like most housewives, saw a lizard in the house, her first instinct would be to reach for the lizard-repellent spray (yes there's such a thing), make a ridiculous kungfu stance, point the spray at the lizard, and shoot. whilst screaming at the top of her lungs, "die lizard, die!!!!" (yes, that's where my "5 year old gene" came from).
but after i gave mum a few lectures about how lizards have family too (disney movies influence), this evening i witnessed something that made me so so happy. i was dying in fits of laughter as i watched mum chase after a tiny lizard for 15 minutes this evening - minus the lizard-repellent. she chased lizard around the kitchen, the hallway, the laundry room, coaxing, "get out of the house you silly thing! i don't want to kill you. shoo shoo!" and the lizard left, unharmed, back to its mummy and daddy, and back to its children. so now no one is left without a loved one. and there's a happy ending.
thank you mum, for listening to me. :)
