Once upon a time a young lady named Maya was enjoying a late afternoon movie when she saw something out of the corner of her eye. At first she was frozen with fear, not sure whether to scream or run as a long, reptilian animal stealthily moved along the wall and behind the entertainment center. Finally, after what seemed like forever, Maya was jolted back into reality and screamed to her mother, "There's a skink in the house!"
Her mother, who was brave and quite ingenuous, thought quickly. She located the skink who was sitting amidst a pile of wires. She built a tunnel-like contraption along the wall so that the skink had to go from the entertainment center and out the door. She carefully prodded the skink with a long stick and urged him into the tunnel. The skink recognized the danger, saw the light of day and ran outside to his freedom.
Although Maya and her family had quite a scare that day, they remember Mr. Skink fondly. They sincerely hope that he doesn't decide to venture into their house again.
THE END

You really should write a book- just using family adventures, the book would be amazing and hilarious!
It's funny after it's all over but when you're doing it it's freaky! That is a long skink.
