Cicak

I like cicak. 

I actually do, I think they're cute and they eat flies and bugs, which is nice. 

But I just had a horrifying run-in with one, and our relationship has cooled somewhat…

[not my hand...]

I was about to take a shower. 

There was a cicak on the bathroom wall and it panicked when I came in. I always find that funny, when you get too close and they do their wiggly, panicky run.

Me: "I'm having a shower, cicak, I'm not trying kill you." 

It ran and hid under the sink. 

I hung my towels on the back of the door and continued…

---------------------------------

…I got out of the shower, grabbed my towel and wrapped myself.

Then I did the re-wrap. You know the re-wrap? Securing the towel for walking through the house. 

But.

As as I did this, I saw in the mirror - horror - the cicak! It was ON ME!!!!

!!!

CICAKONMYSKIN!

I froze for about 1/2 a second…and then I SCREAMED and jumped around, which is rare, but on this occasion, unavoidable.

Problem was, cicak are used to climbing walls, aren't they?? So it didn't just fall off, it was STUCK to me!!!! Actually stuck!!

CICAK STUCK TO MY BODY!

YUKKK!

YUKKKKKKKK!!!!

I actually had to FLICK it off.

Shudder. 

And run from the bathroom.

Always check your towels, friends!!!
