Meet Hungry

The other day I was in Walmart and had just Chandler with me. I told him if he was a very good boy, he could pick out a treat. He was a very good patient boy for over a half hour while I shopped, so we headed over to the toy department. He found this very realistic lizard for $1. I could handle that. He also decided he wanted a push pop, so we headed to the check out with his lizard and push pop. Here's how our conversation went:

"What's your lizard's name Chandler?"

"His name is HUNGRY!"

"Hungry? Is hungry the lizard hungry?"

"Yeah, Hungry's hungry!"

After the cashier had scanned his toy and treat, Chandler proceeded to open the push pop and started eating it. He was considerate enough to remember that hungry was hungry, and shoved the push pop into his mouth over and over. Then he'd look up at me and smile quite proudly.

A little bit about Hungry:

  • Length: Just over a foot
  • Weight:  2,000 flies
  • Color:  Tan with red spots
  • Sleeps: In Chandler's closet on a blanket.  
  • Loves hanging out in the dishwasher, or so Chan tells me.
  • Can stretch really far, is really squishy, and feels real.....ewww
  • Now has a crooked smile from being gorged with a push pop

I can quickly see that Hungry is becoming part of the family. ;)

Oh, I died laughing. That is quite the lizard and I LOVE the picture! Good post!

BTW, I told Joe the two stories, your psych patient and the one about "Peter" and how strong Chandler was. He thought they were hysterical.
