zeahne the gecko hunter

there has been a gecko trapped in our bathroom for the last week. when i walk in, i have to find the gecko before i can do business. last night i talked zeahne into catching the gecko and taking him outside. now, this gecko is about an inch long (that is it...we have had larger ones....in comparrison it is a baby...but it still freaks me out!). after saying no for a half an hour...finally he said yes. so we both go in and start looking for it. finally...we find it under a towel. only...zeahne saw it before i did. now, my feet were on the floor and i was sitting on the closed toliet. i saw him jump out of the corner of my eye and then saw the scurring of the gecko and screamed bloody murder while me feet shot up in the air at the same time (one on the wall...the other on the bath tube) i kind of felt like spiderman. when i screamed, zeahne screamed louder than i did and got this look on his face like he was coming out of his skin, jumped up ran to me, then turned around and ran into the door, opened the door, ran out of the door. all the time i am yelling...come back, get the gecko....come back, get the gecko. after about 30 seconds, he comes back and we can't find the gecko. darn. we look by the door...ahhhha..there he is, get him zeahne. zeahne misses....the gecko runs out the door scared for his life. did i mention they are very quick little things. i forgot my door was open and the gecko heads for my room. zeahne , get the gecko before he goes in my room....ahhhhhh.....huuuuurrrrrryyyyyy. finally, zeahne has him trapped between his hand and the carpet. he grabs him by the tail. tail falls off...crap....he is off again....ewwwwhhhh the tail is still moving....zeahne is facinated by this....get him zeahne. again, trapped between the hand of death and carpet. he gets him in his fist....i make sure to tell him to keep his fist loose so he doesn't squish the lizard. we both run downstairs and open the back door and zeahne puts the lizard very gently on a mushroom that is growing out back. last night...i went to the bathroom in peace, not afraid that some little lizard was going to jump on me!
