Pets

So this blog has sat here a few days, with no reason to exist. I thought maybe it would be about how I wanted to steal a baby crow and raise it, and about my (hilarious) attempts to do so. But then I thought that a crow would be messy or stinking. Also, I found a salamander in my grandmother's pool the other day and I put it in a glass with some leaves and water and the next day it was dead. So that put a damper on wanting a pet.

Speaking of pets, I was in a pet store the other day looking at the fish and an excited kid came up to me and told me he had gotten a shrimp and that I should go look because there were still a lot more left. "It has suckers just like a sucker fish, to eat algae. It was looking at some algae when we bought it." We started talking about the lizards and he told me he had some alligator lizards and I said that mine had always been mean. He said his weren't and that he just let them out to climb all over him, pantomiming with his hands.

Maybe I should get a kid as a pet.

Or one of that kid's nice lizards.
