I was looking at the
beautiful purple flowers
by the garage
something hit me in the head
and bounced to the ground
I looked down
and freaked out at first
I tryed to catch that lizard
but his brown turned to green
and he scurried off
I went to my friends house
and got my second scare for the day
We was talking and laughing
when I got up
to get a glass of well water
A big cock roach
fell off the ceiling
onto the counter
and I screamed

Great write!

this sheds new light on the nature vs. nurture argument. I used to wear said Chameleons (Also known as Anoles) as earings; as a young boy I got them to bite my earlobes!
Your friend shows a respect for all forms of life, apparently...
