I am in shock and in deep pain. Lizards.
Disgusting creepy lizards.
Again. I was just confronted by a
lizard in my dusting cloth in what I thought was a lizard free home. I remember
some terrorizing times at my grandma’s place. Those disgusting, squiggly brown
colored things have made me quake in bed in terror spending sleepless nights
for fear they may be near me. I have opened cabinet doors fearfully expecting
those beasts to jump out or jump away for me and for me to jump back if I see
them. I have entered rooms armed with a
broom in my hand (which usually has usually fallen down since I have never not
panicked and fled when confronted by those things). I seriously don’t get it. How can those tiny creatures incite such feelings
of hate, repulsion and fear in any one!
For those who belong to the lizard hating club whose numbers
are quite large especially among females, I believe, can
understand my agony when, I fled to a floor below to my MIL's as I await hubby dear
to come home, find that awful creature and chase it away before I can
cautiously go back. The other thing
about lizards and I think mice too, unfortunately is, once they come inside the
house, there is no easy way to chase them out. One can chase a lizard around
and around a room with all windows and doors and all possible openings open,
but they manage to skip all of them and find that one immovable painting or
cabinet above the most comfortable seat in the house behind which is security
for them and insecurity for me if I dare to sit on that seat! Ruthless killing
is not an option since these creatures have tails that live on and are more
eerie than even the whole thing! I
remember a friend even bought this ultrasonic sound producing device that was
supposed to shock lizards and drive them away.
Didn’t work. Cockroaches and
lizards have withstood the test of time and have I reckon, been through every
possible calamity to be driven away by mere sound waves! The only thing that
has worked is being armed with a nagging broom to chase them away so frequently
that they give up and go to a neighbor’s house!
What I don’t understand, but am thankful for is the fact
that guys and a few girls too never do find these things repulsive (atleast
someone can chase them away!). In fact, I knew of a guy who had pet lizards and
frogs. Someone from that club, help me
either overcome my repulsion or drive out that thing from my house!
