Ten year old me , accidentally smuggle a lizard into school in me lunchbox. Not like I planned it, nope. See, I was at the park, emptying my Bread jam sandwich before school , when this lil lizard shot out of a bush and landed in my bag. Lizard. Live and wiggly. Panic? You bet. But third-grader me had a plan. Brilliant, terrible plan.

I shoved the lizard under my sandwich and zipped the bag shut. in class, I was bursting with excitement. My lunchbox was like a secret fort, housing a living, breathing (okay, maybe not breathing, but definitely blinking) treasure. I couldn't wait to share...
