"Hi mom, here's a lizard for you..."
Oh, did we mention that they were on holiday...
This one goes out to all the boy moms out there...
We know you can relate to finding your kid holding a live lizard or worse at least once in their young lives.
And if you haven't, then you're lucky. As much as we encourage kids to be adventurous, sometimes their adventurous expeditions can leave us with chills.
We recognised this mother's voice when we saw a video she posted a few days ago of her son bringing a medium-sized lizard to lunch while they were on holiday. Amanda Ivanelli's video of her youngest son went viral earlier this year when she showed him remove a monitor lizard from their pool after his dad failed to do the job.
This time, her youngest confidently held a smaller-sized lizard and brought it over to them while they ate breakfast at their holiday resort.
The poor lizard wasn't sure what he was facing, so he stayed dead-still while the young boy gripped its tail, boasting about his catch.
His pride convinced us he was living through 'The Croods' movie, bringing home the grub.

We love how mom asked her elder boys how the youngest got his hands on the lizard, and he bypassed them and told her himself.
His demeanour indicates that boys still embrace their protector/provider instincts from a young age. There are no flight instincts here, mom.
