I was chatting with my 7 yr.old student this afternoon as she was working on her math. The topic of what we both wanted to be when we "grew up" came about. When it came to her turn to share, she looked at me in dead earnest and promptly stated, "I want to be someone on TV who catches lizards!!" Oooh...wow.
Lizards? Yes, I have noticed her fond affection for these little reptiles. And of course, like a good teacher, I am all enthusiasm about the newest pet and friend, and therefore naturally very supportive of her dream vocation! 
Yet...it still can be slightly disturbing to suddenly find one being fondly caressed in front of you during school time:
<gasp> "Oh...Um...where did this one come from? Have you had him with you the whole time? OH, wow.... he's um, a NICE one!" <gulp>
Well folks, I guess it looks like there is potential for me to one day boast that I was once the teacher of the world-famous Lizard-Catcher!
