Resolutions For 1996

by Scott Patterson

Originally published in The Cold Blooded News, Vol.23, No.2, February 1996.
Recently my wife told me "Quit raising the kids like your lizards." So, I have made the following resolutions for this year:

Top Ten List

10. I will stop sprinkling Rep-Cal on the kids' breakfast cereal.

9.   I will stop searching the children's room for the best basking site.

8.   When they ask for water in the middle of the night, I will stop giving it to them with an eyedropper.

7.   I will stop wondering how my kids grew without shedding.

6.   After a doctor's appointment, I will stop asking "What did the vet say?"

5.   I will stop asking "Why don't the kids' appetites decrease in the winter?"

4.   I will no longer make the kid do their homework under a Vita-Lite.

3.   I will no longer refer to their beds as hide boxes.

2.   I will no longer send them to school with sack lunches of leafy greens and calcium fortified crickets.

1.   I will no longer roll SweeTarts by them so they can recognize their prey by its movement.
