Hi my name is Michael and well I had a really bad day today and I guess I will tell you what happened but that's later I'll tell you what happened before.
*Three Days Earlier*
"Hey Mom can I go out side with dad?" I asked. "Yes baby," she said. " Mom I'm not a baby I'm a teen now and thanks," I said. "Well your still my baby," Mom said. "Ok," I said as I left the yellow painted kitchen and walked to the porch. I was halfway down our porches stairs and I saw a green lizard so I continued down the stairs stealthily. "Hey little guy," I said in a whispery tone. The lizard had speckles of lighter and darker shade of green and it blinked and stuck it's younger out at me. "Wanna help me with the fort?" The lizard waved it's tail and blinked again. "Ok! Let's get going crawl on my hand little guy," I said as I put my hand in front of the lizard. The lizard blinked and wiggled it's tail and crawled on my hand. Once it crawled on my hand I placed it on my shoulder and said "You need a name little guy. What should it be? Hmm... I got it I will name you Larry!" Larry and I walked through the humid wooded back yard watching the insects and animals. Soon after we walked away from the house in the woods we walked to my crafting shack with loads of wood shop tools. We arrived there about 9:00 A.M. "Man the flowers are so full of dew here Larry and the sun rise is so beautiful!" "Only if the sun rise was as beautiful as you Larry," I chuckled and put Larry down on one of my counters in crafting area. "Hey Larry don't leave unless you just got something better to do," I said as I took out some long wood boards and I picked up a hammer and nails. I had hammered some nails into three 8ft.x8ft. Making a partially stable wall I did this for more times and nailed the wood together and made a box without a top. I took a shovel on the wall of the crafting shack and dug a two feet deep hole. I took the plants and soil and placed it in the box. "Hey Larry I made you a little home! You should come over here and try it out," I said as I placed the box on the ground and looked to see if Larry was still here. "There you are Larry! Let's go to your hand made house! Maybe you'll like it," I said as I let him crawl on my hand from being on the counter. I walked to the house and he rejected it so fast it almost broke my heart but I just put him back on my shoulder. We walked out of the woods and walked on the left side of the house opposite of our garage.
