Why is the Blue Tongue Lizard eating Poo Daddy?
This was not one of the questions I had steeled myself for.
Sure I am preparing myself for "Where do babies come from" and "Why do boys have a willy and girls don't?" but I was at a loss to answer this one.
Like many Australian backyards, we have a big fat Blue Tongue Lizard that lounges around and occasionally takes a snail or two from the garden in between sunning itself in the bricks.
As he made his appearance today, I took the boys out to look at him. It was then that I had the bright idea of finding a snail for him to eat so the boys could watch.
After looking around for a while I found one of the bastards hiding under a leaf and placed it about 20cm in front of the Blue Tongue. About 10 seconds later and he was snapping it up hungrily to the delight of all while we eagerly watched on.
We gave it another go and he ate it just as quickly. Seemingly having had enough of our hospitality, he decided to move off back to where ever he moves off to. As he was walking along however he walked past a piece of dog crap that had escaped my usually vigilant anti dog crap routine.
As I looked on in disgusted amazement, he went all out devouring this piece of crap like he was in a German Porno.
My oldest boy puzzled by the Blue Tongue's actions asked;
"Why did the lizard eat the poo Daddy?"
"I don't know son, I don't know"
