Julia and Maui the Skink

One Saturday, we were all working in the garden, when Aidan and I caught a skink.

Aidan was very interested in the skink and observed it in a jar.

But then, Julia, you asked Aidan if you could play with the skink too. He said 'sure!'

You two checked out the skink together and then Aidan played with the water hose.

But you...you continued to marvel at the marvelous skink.

And it was true love.

You named him Maui.

You cuddled him.

Let him crawl on you.

He seemed pretty calm and collected and enjoyed your warmth.

You cuddled him for at least an hour.

You loved him.

And then he eventually hopped away and went on his merry little life.

You were sad.

But, you'll always have the memories of Maui.
