I Don't Like Lizards & Snakes

It is trippy Tuesday and another sweaty hot, 100 and something degree Summer day here in Texas.  Yesterday one of those long lizards that resemble a snake scuttled under the door of the store I work in,  as a  male customer entered.  He was nice enough to let me know and point it out.  It was wriggling snake like along the wall and I reacted like I have since I was a little girl. I screamed and tried to jump up on the counter.  ( picture it- I am 50 something)  Thank God he was a nice country man and offered to help me sweep Mr. snakey lizard back outdoors.  He took the broom from me with a chuckle since every time I got close and the lizard went to running I went to screaming and jumping around.  I thanked him for making my work environment once again safe and scream free. We both got a laugh.  I have given up even trying not to act terrified by lizards and snakes. My screams and avoidance reactions just seem to be involuntary.  But I think it is kinda fun to know the opposite sex no matter what age never tire of getting a kick out of it.    Like Mom always said, " Steffie, boys and girls are very different".  
Hope you have a terrific, trippy Tuesday!   kisses
