The tempest of my thoughts, contained in a simple page.

Dear Geckos,

(specifically the ones that inhabit my house)

Thanks for brightening my day by scaring my mother when she walks into a room to spot your lone presence on a wall nearby. Thanks for making those happy chirping noises from behind the printer while I do homework. Thanks for fascinating me with the science of those tiny, rapid, sticky feet you have.

Watch out for the pets. If you hear the dog barking at you, run upwards and into some corner where he can't see you. If you even SEE my cat, run upwards and away. I don't even want to think about finding another of your members disemboweled on the floor.

All this is to say that I am perfectly happy to provide a warm shelter for you inside our home.

But sharing a shower with me is a little much.

At least try to refrain from letting your smaller members slide up and down the tile walls next to my head. Staying behind the translucent curtain is better, but still slightly unnerving. 

Though I hope you get an exciting, roller-coaster, life-or-death moment when I move the curtain.

Best wishes,
Abby
