Once upon a time......

…..In the mountains far far away, there lived a bluetongue lizard named Jubby, who really, really, really, really wanted to come out of his tank.
‘Please Mum! I’ll be ever so good’, said Jubby.
‘OK then’ Mum replied. ‘But you have to come in the study with me because I’ve got work to do’
‘Thanks so much, Mum!’ Jubby said happily.
But Jubby lied, and was soon being a nuisance.
Thinking that maybe a bit of company might make Jubby give it a rest, Santos the Shingleback was deployed.
However, it soon became evident that the two were hatching a plot.
Said Santos: ‘Hey, lets both have a go and really push her over the edge’
‘Cool. Let’s high 5 on it’ Jubby replied eagerly.
So Mum’s cunning plan backfired, and the two made even more noise, mess and damage.
‘That’s it!’ yelled Mum! ‘Ralphie!!! Get your bum in ‘ere and show these two how to behave with a little decorum’
Whilst Mum went upstairs to grap Ralphie, Santos thought he’d hang around a little.
But Ralphie took one look at the goings on and said ‘No way!’ They’re too mental even for me! Laters!'
Eventually, as the day drew to a close and energy levels were flagging, Jubby retired to his favourite box in his favourite drawer in Mum’s desk….
….and Ralphie and Santos went back to their own room for a kip.
When Mum, tired herself, went back upstairs, she said hello to the kookaburra on the back deck.
But then the kookaburra brought a friend and Mum thought ‘oh no! Here we go again!’
So she quickly closed the doors, poured herself a stiff belt, and crashed out on the lounge.
The end.
‘Please Mum! I’ll be ever so good’, said Jubby.
‘OK then’ Mum replied. ‘But you have to come in the study with me because I’ve got work to do’
‘Thanks so much, Mum!’ Jubby said happily.

I totally lost my grip. OMG what a funny presentation. Thanks for the early morning gaffaw! 
What a nice way to start my day! YOu should write a morning story each day for all of us to wake up laughing! 
) As usual, you and the kids have provided much needed laughs. Thanks so much for sharing. I love seeing your guys (esp. Jubby!) but your narrating is the thing that makes me open your threads first!
